Create an itinerary including Batwa Trail

Learn traditional customs and skills of a hunter-gatherer and warrior tribe on Batwa Trail, a cultural tour guided by the Batwa people. Starting at the foothills of the Virunga forest, the trail meanders through thick green woodland, ending in the erstwhile home of the Batwa king, Ngarama Cave. The tribe teaches you how to hunt, construct huts, start fire, and use medicinal herbs. As a finale, listen to the touching and heartrending songs performed by the tribal women in the unearthly ambiance of the sacred cave.

Highly recommend this experience. While the cost initially may seem high at $80 (though not high compared to gorilla trekking at $1500), it’s absolutely worth it and the funds go to a very good place.... more
