We recently took a day trip to Ssezibwa Falls in Mukono district, just
32km out of Kampala City. It was the perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon. We travelled as a group, most of whom were meeting for the very first time. That alone made the trip even more
exciting for us as we did not know what to expect.
A trip to Ssezibwa Falls is extremely worthwhile. At the end of the
day, as the sun set faces around seemed
to wear a bright smile and have a sparkle in their eyes. Below are some of the reasons as to why we think you should make the trip.
The first thing you will notice when you arrive is the canopy of
trees, the mass expanse of greenery and the gushing sound of Ssezibwa
Falls. As you move closer to the sound, you’ll cross a wide bridge that
provides the perfect viewpoint. You’ll be tempted to stretch out your
hands and close your eyes as soft drizzles from the waterfall dew your
face and body. Do it, because it feels amazing. It’s the perfect cool
off point, with the perfect view.
Aside from Ssezibwa Falls, the scenery consists of vast rocks and
forest. We had so much fun hiking through the rocks and the forest and
taking pictures of the different landscapes. Carry hiking shoes and you
just might get a good work out in too.
- It is a perfect place for picnic.
Once we had had our fill touring and hiking the Ssezibwa Falls grounds, Iwe took advantage of the cool shade provided by the trees and sat down to a
picnic with the rest of the group. We stretched out, relaxed and played
a couple games of cards while we chatted. Make sure you pack
your own food and drinks as the one downside about this place is
despite its beauty, there appears to be no management. No restaurant
exists. Arrive prepared (picnic
mats, games, food and drink) and you’ll have a good time nonetheless.
- It’s great for fun activities like games.
One of the best parts about this trip was the fact that we got to
have lots of fun with a camera. It just so happened that the group that traveled had a few photography enthusiasts that were so much fun
to hung around and learn a thing or two from. Being a
professional photography newbie,
it was the ideal combination of fun and learning all in one. Because the grounds
are so big, Ssezibwa Falls is excellent for several other sports. I
spotted a few cyclists and some members from our group challenged
themselves to a game of
kwepena, jumping shots among others
.
