Summary:
We spent a day with William that included a morning waterfall hike and an afternoon coffee tour at a small farm just above the Sipi-Kapchorwa road. We were introduced to William through our safari guide Robert Seruma (see related review). William offers deep knowledge of his people and their history, a naturalist's sense of the ecosystem through which the visitor hikes or scrambles, and a working layman's knowledge of the geology of the Mt Elgon caldera that shapes the spectacular Sipi River region. He was properly solicitous of the needs of a partly disabled visitor, a fine interpreter of nature and culture, and a superb storyteller - a skill that he demonstrated through his account of the marriage traditions of the Sabinya people. The coffee experience introduced us to the best cup of coffee we've ever enjoyed.
