The Mahoma falls in Uganda are a sight to see with their lush jungle-like surroundings and the sound of water crashing against rocks. They’re set up in Ruteete, which has cool temperatures and can be walked to from Lake Mwamba if desired!
Hiking to the top of Mahoma Falls numerous times and every time is a new experience. It’s an unforgettable two-hour walk through lush forests. The ground may be slippery because there’s lots of moss, but don’t worry – hiking sneakers will keep everything safe.
The sound of a gushing waterfall is enough to fill you with awe. The chilly fresh air, combined with the icy coldness in these waters, has well-known effects on people: they feel refreshed and relaxed!
