A VISIT TO SEBEI
My name is Joseph Muganga. Last December, our father took us for a visit to Kapchorwa in Eastern Uganda. We were five in number. We left our home in Mbale on the 20th of December, 2014. We used the new Sironko road. The first part of the road was smooth. As we moved on, we saw men working on the rough part. They were putting tar on the surface to make it smooth. Most of the men who were working on the road were tall and looked strong. They were dark skinned apart from one they called Kadogo who was short and light skinned. After Sironko, we climbed up mountain Elgon in the Eastern part of Uganda. It was a wonderful place. The mountain is very high with thick forests on the slopes.
There are great falls called Sipi. The water flows very fast from the mountain. The roads up in the mountain are very rough and slippery. The drivers find it difficult to drive their vehicles. The drivers have to be careful in order to avoid accidents. Old vehicles cannot climb these rough roads. We used a new small black pick-up on our journey. It had brown soft seats. Our driver was an old man. He knew most of the places very well. Whenever we reached an interesting place, he would stop the car and tell us more about the place. When we reached the falls, he stopped and told us that the falls are called Sipi. He said that many tourists go there to see the beautiful hard rocks from which the Sipi Falls flow. We took some photographs from there. It was really an exciting trip!
