About this Experience

The Kapchorwa Wilderness Hike combines stunning nature with authentic insights into the life of modern cave-dwellers. These men have deliberately chosen a life in the wild, close to their cows and nature. On your way to the cave homes, you will come across untouched waterfalls, remote villages and medicinal trees & plants. Your native guide ran through these hills as a young boy and can give you all the ins and outs of Kapchorwa's natural and cultural wonders. A truly off-the-beaten-path experience and — because of its distance of 25 km — only for trained hikers!
