Do I need a guide?
Guides are highly reccommended. Sipi Falls is very much 'off the beaten track' and as yet there are no route maps. The guides will take you through the local trails and can introduce you to the local area and Sabine customs.
Should you want to take in more waterfalls in the local area or go for an even longer walk, this can be arranged. If you are heading out for the full day a packed lunch can be provided.
