BATWA TRAIL EXPERIENCE.

BATWA trail experience is an additional experience for those that may prefer Gorilla tracking as an experience.

Batwa EXPERIENCE is a historical reenactment by the Batwa Pygmy people of what their life used to be like in the forest. These once lived in the rain forests of Uganda but were resettled in the communities. They are also referred to as the "Keepers of the Forest". Highlights of the Batwa Experience includes learning about medicinal herbs, traditional shelters, fire making, honey harvesting, burial rituals, different types of snares, and more. The Batwa do not just demonstrate their culture for tourists, but also for their own children, so they strive for authenticity.

And because of all what happened they became refugees, people who lacked but had, they lost their traditional ways and culture, ways of living in their normal and beloved forest. An experience of the Batwa trail gives you a life time experience to learn about their day to day life of the first people who lived in the forest spend time with people of small stature but with a big heart. This Experience can only be found Bwindi and in Mgahinga Photo credits: Peter Hogel
