The Batwa Experience is another day trip well worth making when staying in
western Uganda and is described as "a hands-on, mind-opening adventure you will never forget."
Introducing you to the Batwa pygmies of the Bwindi Impenetrable National Forest who are being increasingly displaced from their
natural habitats and can no longer live in the forest itself, during your five
hour stay you will share a traditional Batwa meal, hear legends and songs from yesteryear and even try a traditional
Batwa bow and arrow in a mock hunting ritual.
The Batwa Experience was created by the Batwa themselves to preserve their
ancient culture and ensure future generations were educated about their way of
life.
Although the tours are free any financial contribution will help to ensure that the Batwa legacy is secured.
