Once we had left Henry and his family we went back to Jinja. Although we have visited Jinja several times we had never actually been to the source of the Nile. We saw where the Nile starts its three month journey of over 4,000 miles to the Mediterranean.
The next day we set off to Lacam Lodge overlooking Sipi Falls half way up Mount Elgon. It was an amazing place on the slopes of the mountain with the most incredible views across the Karamoja plains.
The first waterfall we could see from the camp, the top fall was a three hour walk up the mountain so we opted to walk to the second fall which was an hours walk!
I walked to the another camp called 'The Crows Nest' which was 4,000ft and again the views were breathtaking. The photo shows the thatched roofs of the bandas at Lacam Lodge above the fall on the right of the picture. Our guide George (watching Rob Sketch) took the photo of us
looking up at the falls! We are so lucky to have this chance to see such beautiful places.
