Sipi Falls is a series of three waterfalls located on the north-western slopes of the eponymous extinct volcano, Mount Elgon, in Uganda,[1] with views over the Karamoja plains.

[2][3][4] The falls are situated to the northeast of Sironko and Mbale,[5] adjacent to Mount Elgon National Park, which is located 1.7 kilometers (1 mile) away from the Kenyan border.

The falls were formed by the Sipi River flowing from the upper slopes of Mount Elgon, and terminate in the Lake Kyoga basin.

This plant is commonly found along the Sipi riverbank and is characterized by its translucent, green fronds featuring a crimson rib, giving it an appearance reminiscent of a wild banana.

[10] The Sipi Falls area grows Bugisu Arabica coffee, which is profitable for the local people.
