Batwa Cultural Activities

The batwa are the indegenous  forest people that were turned into conservation refugees after Mgahinga National park was gazetted in 1991. They lost their habitat  for the  surviving  mountain gorillas and roam in the nearby  villages with no rights to land ownership. The batwa experience  is  where guests are guided  by the batwa tour guides  showcasing  how they lived in the  forest in caves, food gathering and hunting.

The proceeds from this experience are shared between the park authorities and Batwa communities.
