Getting there

Car

If you are driving from Mbale, head northeast on the Mbale-Bulambuli road (A109). Continue for approximately 20 kilometers until you reach Bulambuli. From Bulambuli, follow signs towards Sisiyi Falls, which is located about 4 kilometers from the town center. The road may be unpaved, so a 4x4 vehicle is recommended. Parking is available near the falls.

Public Transportation

To reach Sisiyi Falls via public transport, take a matatu (shared taxi) from Mbale to Bulambuli. The journey takes about 30-40 minutes and costs around 5,000 UGX. Once you arrive in Bulambuli, you can hire a motorcycle taxi (boda boda) to take you the remaining 4 kilometers to Sisiyi Falls. The boda boda ride should cost between 3,000 to 5,000 UGX.

Walking

If you prefer to walk from Bulambuli, it's about a 1-hour trek to Sisiyi Falls. Start from the center of Bulambuli and follow the dirt road heading east. Look for signs directing you to Sisiyi Falls. The path can be uneven, so wear sturdy footwear.
