Discover the Majestic Mutseke Falls

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, start from the main entrance of Rwenzori Mountains National Park. Drive towards Kitholhu sub-county, which is approximately 15 kilometers from the park entrance. The road is mostly well-maintained, but be cautious of occasional potholes. Once you reach Kitholhu, look for signs directing you towards Kisanga and Kiraro. Continue driving until you reach the Mutseke Falls. There is limited parking available near the falls, so be prepared to walk a short distance to reach the viewing area.

• Public Transportation

  To reach Mutseke Falls using public transportation, you can take a matatu (shared taxi) from the nearest town, Kasese. Head to the Kasese taxi park, where you can find matatus heading towards Kitholhu or Kiraro. The fare should be around UGX 3,000-5,000. Inform the conductor that you are going to Kitholhu, and they will drop you off at a suitable point. From there, you may need to walk the remaining distance to Mutseke Falls. The walk should take about 30 minutes, and you can ask locals for directions to ensure you stay on track.
