Sipi Falls is quite possibly the most spectacular place Tracy and I have ever stayed. It sits
here on the edge of Mt Elgon in eastern Uganda. It is far from easy to get to, even from where I was working in western Kenya it took us 2 hours in a matatu(a 14 passenger taxi-van usually with about 22 passengers and 2 live chickens) and 2 hours in a taxi plus the always exciting African border crossing. We spent Christmas 2009 here making for our most memorable holiday getaway(and our
christmas card photo this year).

| Our hotel, Lacam Lodge, is visible on the cliff to the right of the falls. Our room is the thatched roof banda on the cliff's edge closest to the falls. |
 |
| Tracy in our banda, complete with bucket style toilet, wood stove heated hot showers, kerosene lanterns and a view of what seemed like all of Uganda. |
 |
| The aforementioned view from the hotel. |
 |
| I expect that this picture could make anyone want to travel. |
 |
| What is it about water falling that we find so appealing? |

| The beautiful bottom of Sipi Falls, which we saw up close on Christmas day while rappelling: see my upcoming Part II post for pictures of rappelling and our hike to the upper falls. |
