If you ever go to Uganda you will go to Sipi Falls.  Underground rivers erupt through the volcanic slopes of the west side of Mt. Elgon, pouring over a series of plateaus before misting into the flat plains of Uganda's Savannah below.  This is the Kapchowra region; a stunning microcosm of the greater Bugisu region.  Farmers of this area represent an island people called the Sebei.  Everything from their language to the taste of their coffee is unique. High altitude and cool winds lead to a longer growing season that compliments this varietal to produce flavors as nuanced and powerful as the countryside on which they were grown.
