Day 1: Trek from Trekkers Hostel (1,450m) to Sine Camp (2,596m)
As we go out on our adventure, we will be escorted by towering trees from the Afro-Montane Forest Zone as we stroll over the valley floor. The initial six kilometers offer a picturesque and consistent climb. As you cross a river, the ascent to Sine Camp becomes increasingly challenging. In this forest, you can see a wide variety of birds residing among the lofty trees. The forest may even be home to some playful blue monkeys. Located approximately 200 meters away from Sine Hut, Enock’s Falls is an ideal spot to capture a breathtaking image that can be used as a screensaver.
Enock’s Falls
With the soothing sound of the waterfall adding to their beauty, your memories are like the vibrant green lichen that grows on the many living forms suspended from the trees.
Perched on a narrow ridge encircled by tall woods, the Sine Camp boasts charming wooden huts at a height of 2,596 meters. As you unwind and take in the stunning natural scenery, you may gaze down at a long section of rapids and a cascade cascading over rocks. Sitting outside by the campfire, some clients like to chat with the guides about their town and the mountains. Just below the bamboo zone, close to Sine, you’ll find a diverse avian population. The camp is around 150 meters away from Enock Falls. Beautiful hanging vines and verdant greenery encircle it. It is just stunning!
Day 2: Descend from Sine Camp to Base (1,450m)
After a filling breakfast, the camp where you spent the night will dictate your plans for the day. Campers at Kalalama will undoubtedly hear the Rwenzori turaco, which thrives among the numerous giant heathers in the vicinity. A higher vantage position will allow you to see the mosses growing on the ground, logs, and trees better, or you can search for the turaco to find better photographs. Then, return to the region just above Sine Camp by following the trail on the hill’s left side. From there, you can descend to the breathtaking Enock Falls and stroll through the beautiful woodland.
Kalalama Camp
A gorgeous woodland alive with birds serves as the scene for the forest walk, which is a steady descent. Bamboo patches can be seen in certain regions, while others include trees with hundreds of vines drooping between them and bearing vivid green lichen. Stunning waterfalls dot the terrain as you make your way through this forest portion, which ends at Sine Camp. Sine Camp’s veranda offers a beautiful view of the valley’s tumbling rapids.
Those who slept at Sine Camp had two options: descend directly through the woodlands or stop at Kalalama Camp for a vantage point before descending to the park entrance and accommodation.
