A Travel guide to Uganda by Timothy Ijala
Five hours from Kampala in the Eastern part of Uganda is Lacam Lodge. It is the ideal place to stay when you are visiting Sipi Falls. Lacam Lodge has self contained bandas with hot showers and it is built and managed in a very enviromental friendly way.At night there is no electricity so the place is lit up using Kerosene lamps and there is always one available for each banda. It is advisable though to carry a torch. There is also the option of camping. If you choose this option it would be good to carry some warm clothing as it does get a bit chilly at night. There is fullboard accommodation available including a four course dinner and a very tasty and filling English breakfast. The heavy breakfast is necessary because of some of the activities involved one of which involves hiking up the hills to visit one of the Falls ( there are actually three). It can take you between four to six hours to see all the three falls. However you can opt to visit any of the three and not all of them. Other activities include absailing. One interesting thing about Lacam Lodge is that because it is built on the slopes of a hill at any one time you are either climbing up (especially when you need to go to the restaurant or the viewpoint where you can see one of the Falls) or climbing down. You don't have to worry about missing the gym when you are there, because the climbing you will do will more than make up for the days you are not going to the gym.
Sipi Falls is the kind of place you can visit during the weekend. It is a nice weekend getaway for the whole family. Together with your stay at Lacam Lodge you will return to the city feeling relaxed and refreshed for work or school.
