A visit to the breath-taking Sipi Falls which are on the northern and eastern side of Mountain, these are three water falls at sipi in kapchorwa just outside the park, the lowest of these is the most spectacular as it cascades over 100m cliff, you can stand behind the caves and enjoy the back view of the falls.

A visit to the Nyero rock Paintings that o back to about 100 years, these are the finest of the several rock art sites in the region.

The wildlife adventure tour of the region, where you are able to do bird watching, primate tracking, wildlife adventures of the buffaloes, elephants and so many others you can get a chance to view the amazing

vegetation in the area. The mountain slopes are covered with OliveOleahochstetter land forest, at high latitudes this changes to olive and Podocarpusgracilior forest, this is an excellent place to view primates such as the black and white colobus, red-tailed and blue monkeys and baboons.
