Sunset and Sunrise walk experience
Sunset and Sunrise Walk
Ever wondered what the sunset looks like in the mountains? Our sunset walk will give you a breathtaking view of the African sunset. From our viewpoint, you’ll watch as the sun rises or descends below the horizon, casting a golden glow across the landscape.
The sunset and sunrise walk starts from your place of residence or hotel in Sipi to the sunset viewpoint, which is sometimes referred to as King’s Point. This viewpoint is at a slightly elevated hill in Sipi which provides a magnificent view of the African sunset, and the Elgon and Aramoja regions.
As you head to the viewpoint, you’ll be able to observe the local people as they go about their day-to-day businesses. The people of Sipi engage in several traditional and modern activities blended together. You’ll also observe the unique landscape and features of the area.
During the sunset walk, young children may greet and wave at you out of the excitement of seeing new people. The people are very hospitable, making this walk very safe for anyone to take. The people of Sipi will willingly answer questions about any of the activities you encounter on your way to see the sunset point.
Highlights of the sunset and sunrise walk
Watch the sunset/sunrise. Observe as the sun fades into darkness or rises, creating a mesmerizing range of colors. The sunset experience will help you appreciate the natural beauty around you and make you feel relaxed.
At the Sunset point, you’ll view the vast plain lands of Karamoja. The Karamojong people occupy Karamoja, a semi-arid region in Uganda, and are known for their love of cattle and pastoralism.
Experience a mountain sunset. Our viewpoint gives a 360-degree view at an elevation of 1775 meters above sea level. Viewing the sunrise and sunset in the mountains is more visually appealing. At higher levels, you can view the sun rising and setting for a longer time compared to lower levels.
Sipi Falls comprises three majestic waterfalls. At the sunset point, you can view all the three at once. The rolling hills that the water falls over are a feast for the eyes at this viewpoint.
You’ll view the Elgon ranges until the Jackson Summit, the second highest point of Mount Elgon and Jackson’s table.
Hear and spot the different bird species found in Sipi. These include the Redwig Sterling and Pied Crow among others.
