The Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is a habitant to some of the greatest biodiversity on the planet, of exotic plants and animals that includes the endangered mountain gorilla. For thousands of years, the forest was also a home to an indigenous people that is, the Batwa pygmies. As the original dwellers of the forest, they were once recognized as the owners of the high mountain forest. The men used to hunt and collect honey and other forest products, which were exchanged for village goods, while the women gathered vegetables, mushrooms and fruits as well as work for local farming peoples. They lived in harmony with the forest and its creatures, including the mountain gorillas.
Today, you walk from your lodge to the Boundary of the Bwindi Forest where you will have a chance to interact with Central Africa’s most ancient ethnic Group. The Batwa communities that left the forest were relocated into another area where today are learning sustainable lifestyles. The Batwa are the most fascinating of Ethnic groups that people can interact with. Their wealth of knowledge about nature and their primitive ways will keep you wonder about how people live like as if they are still in the Stone Age. The Batwa will guide you through their lifestyles showing you their homes and farming as well as displaying their wealth of knowledge such as the many uses of plants and their talents in basket weaving, collecting honey and many other things that are unique to these fascinating people.
