Cultural Heritage & Biodiversity!
We will have a take-away breakfast before heading to Impenetrable Park to trek the gorillas. This park is well known for its high number of gorillas, and the forest is also home to other primate species.

After the trek, we will join a community walk to engage with the Batwa people, an indigenous group who used to live in the forest. Both groups face significant threats to their survival, and their preservation is essential.

with Mugenyi Eco-Tours Community-based tourism, we encourages visitors to take part in cultural experiences guided by the Batwa themselves, such as traditional dances, storytelling, and crafts, which can directly benefit their communities. Protecting the Batwa helps to preserve valuable cultural diversity.
