Hiking and Trekking: Sipi Falls is physically active, generally with trails that take hikers to viewpoints over the waterfall and the relentless beauty of the region. But there is a gentle climb up to the actual main waterfall visit that anyone of any level of fitness should be able to manage easily.
Abseiling and Rock Climbing: For the adventurous, other activities that could be done here include abseiling (rappelling) down the rocky edges around the waterfalls and rock climbing accompanied by local expert climbers.
- Cultural Immersion
Local Community: The Sabiny people sit or surround this resource, and they are culturally and traditionally inclined to the region. When at Sipi Falls, one can engage with the local people, hear and see how they live, and do things like learn some traditional dances or even visit the local art and craft shops.
