Kalenjin Wilderness Hike

2 Days Kalenjin Wilderness Hike Uganda

Walk into the wilderness of the Kapchorwa lower belts. Learn about the Kalenjin culture while you beat the challenging animal trails. Enjoy the spectacular and surprising beauty of Sirinda viewpoint and Cheptoi waterfalls. Are you in for some real adventure?


ABOUT THE KALENJIN


The Kalenjin are an ethnic group residing mainly in what was formerly the Rift Valley Province in Kenya. The Kalenjin is composed of various Southern Nilotic tribes indigenous to East Africa. One of the tribes lives on the Ugandan side of Mount Elgon and is called the ‘Sabiny’. The Kalenjin were once pastoralists. Because our hike has many animal trails, we named it after the Kalenjin. The Kalenjin are known worldwide because of producing long-distance running champions.


GRANARIES AND SIZZLE ROPES


Along the animal trails you will find granaries where people store their maize. This is beneficial to the food security. The grass thatched houses are designed after the ancient, cave lifestyle. Natives in the Kalenjin wilderness used to make sizzle ropes during their leisure time. These ropes help to look after the animals: cows, goats and/or sheep.

My experience with Roger as a tourist guide in Uganda Awsome experience! We traveled around Uganda and saw animals, climbed Mt.Elgon and visited a tribe. Our guide was very genuine and funny. The only thing I would have liked more is a breifing of the day. Other than that I totally recommend Roger as a Tourist Guide!!

Murchison falls - a 3 day customized safari tour The Game Ranger Tours team took us to a three day safari to the Murchison falls - the national park in the north-western Uganda. The owner of the travel agency - Roger - prepared a customized programme for us. We left Kampala at about 1 pm and drove for about six hours to the park to catch the last ferry to the other side of Nile at 7pm. After crossing the river, we were accommodated in a beautiful lodge called Paraa Safari. Next morning we started early to safari game drive across the savannah grassland. Our tour guide and driver - Juuko knew every road in the park. He took us to places where we saw giraffes, buffaloes, hartebeests, antelopes, kobs, elephants and many more wild animals and birds. The drive was a fantastic experience we'll never forget. In the afternoon we got back to the lodge to have lunch and then at about 3 pm took a boat to the falls - so beautiful nature sight! On the third day, before heading back to Kampala Roger and Juuko took us to the top of the falls where we could actually see how powerfull and strong the waterfall is! On our way to Kampala we visited the Ziwa Rhino sanctuary too and were lucky to see a baby rhino and its parents. After the three full days of adventure, we safely returned to the capital. Thank you so much, Roger and Juuko, for taking care of us and for showing us how beautiful Uganda is. Hope to see you again!

My woderful stay in Entebbe and Uganda During my stay in Entebbe, I eas able to fufil my childhood dreams, namely to touch the waters of Victoria Lake and, then, to travel to the soirces of the Nile. My best tour guide was, of course, Ras. His name has got a powerful meaning in Ethiopian, i.e. Prince. He is a genuine prince by heart, character and manner. To me, Entebbe is the city of God. Uganda and Tanzania are the countries to which I would always come back. If Africa has its heart, then the heart's two chambers are Tanzania and Uganda. To all white people like me, I wpuld like to say that the cradle of the mankind is to be found in Africa. My skin is white, but my heart is black. And I ma proud of it.
