The Batwa community in Buhoma, located near Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, offers a fascinating glimpse into the traditions of one of Uganda’s indigenous groups. Originally forest dwellers, the Batwa lived in harmony with nature, relying on hunting, gathering, and herbal medicine for survival. Today, they share their rich cultural heritage through immersive experiences, including storytelling, traditional dances, and demonstrations of ancient survival skills. Visitors can join guided forest walks led by Batwa elders, who recount their history and showcase their deep knowledge of the land. Despite challenges following their displacement from the forest, the Batwa continue to preserve their identity and educate others about their way of life.
