If you’re based in Kampala and craving fresh air, greenery, and a little adventure without committing to a full weekend away, Griffin Falls is a perfect day trip. Tucked into lush nature just a few hours from the city, it’s an ideal escape for internationals, locals, and mixed groups looking to unwind—or bond.

Getting There

Griffin Falls is easily reachable from Kampala by car, making it a convenient option for a spontaneous day out or a planned group activity. The drive itself already feels like a transition from city noise to calm countryside, which sets the mood nicely for what’s ahead.

What to Do at Griffin Falls

🌊 Nature Walks & Waterfall Views

The main highlight, of course, is the waterfall. Guided nature walks take you through green trails, offering a chance to slow down, spot birds, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. It’s not a strenuous hike, so it’s suitable for most fitness levels—and great if you just want to reconnect with nature.

🧗 Zip Line Adventure

For those who want a bit of adrenaline, the zip line is a must. Flying above the greenery adds an exciting contrast to the otherwise tranquil setting and makes Griffin Falls especially appealing for mixed groups where some want calm and others want action.

🤝 Team-Building Activities

Griffin Falls is also well set up for team-building activities, making it a popular choice for NGOs, companies, volunteer groups, or project teams. The natural environment creates a relaxed but focused space that’s perfect for strengthening group dynamics outside the office.

Food & Reservations 🍽️

There is a restaurant on site, but it’s important to know that meals must be ordered in advance upon reservation. This actually works well for groups, as it avoids long waiting times and ensures food availability. Just make sure to plan ahead and communicate dietary needs early.

Costs & Practical Tips 💰

As an international visitor, you should expect to pay around 30,000 UGX for entry and activities (prices may vary depending on what you choose to do). Bring cash, comfortable walking shoes, and sunscreen—and don’t forget your camera.

Final Thoughts

Griffin Falls is one of those places that proves you don’t have to go far from Kampala to feel completely refreshed. Whether you’re in the mood for quiet nature walks, a thrilling zip line, or a structured team-building day, it offers a well-rounded experience in a beautiful setting.

Perfect for a day trip. Even better with good company. 🌍✨
