Sunrise and Sunset Walk

If you’ve ever wondered what the sunset looks like from a high altitude, you’re in luck. Sipi allows you to view the African sunset in all its glory. 

Sipi’s fame comes from Sipi Waterfalls, a series of three impressive waterfalls along the Sipi River. However, there’s so much more than the falls and alluring scenery. The mountain sunset is one of the most beautiful things to see in Sipi.
