Staff of Twilight Family Guesthouse recommended three falls tour which price is UGX 30000. However I heard that visiting to the falls personally is cheaper than guided tour. So I didn&#8217;t apply this tour and I walked to the falls alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span lang=\"en-US\">First falls from Lacam Lodge<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">You can find this signpost at your left if you walk from Twilight Family Guesthouse. I turned left to this lodge because there is view point on the MAPS.ME which is smartphone application.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-140\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/naoyuki-aoi.official.jp\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/LacamSign-225x300.jpg?resize=225%2C300\" alt=\"LacamSign\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/naoyuki-aoi.official.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/LacamSign.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/naoyuki-aoi.official.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/LacamSign.jpg?w=341&amp;ssl=1 341w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">When I reached to the lodge&#8217;s reception counter, lodge staff told me entrance fee is UGX 10000. I beat down the price to UGX 5000. Scenery from lodge is like this photo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-141\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/naoyuki-aoi.official.jp\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/LacamView-225x300.jpg?resize=225%2C300\" alt=\"LacamView\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/naoyuki-aoi.official.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/LacamView.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/naoyuki-aoi.official.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/LacamView.jpg?w=341&amp;ssl=1 341w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">This view point is nearer than view from Twilight Family Guesthouse. But this view is also perspective, so I didn&#8217;t feel so good. There is extra tour which reach to bottom of the falls. Extra fee is UGX15000, so I didn&#8217;t go.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span lang=\"en-US\">Second falls from Sipi River Lodge<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\"><span lang=\"en-US\">You can find this signpost of Sipi River Lodge at your left when you walk about 1 km from Lacam Lodge to Kapchorwa.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-146\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/naoyuki-aoi.official.jp\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/SipiRiverLodgeSign-225x300.jpg?resize=225%2C300\" alt=\"SipiRiverLodgeSign\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/naoyuki-aoi.official.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/SipiRiverLodgeSign.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/naoyuki-aoi.official.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/SipiRiverLodgeSign.jpg?w=341&amp;ssl=1 341w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Lodge&#8217;s gate have a sign which shows entrance fee is UGX 5000.
