  • Batwa Trail, Uganda
    Visitors to Mgahinga Gorilla National Park have the opportunity to experience the Batwa culture by signing up for the Batwa Trail Experience. Unlike the Batwa Community Experience, which occurs in the villages, the Batwa Trail activity offers a glimpse into the historical lifestyles of this marginalized community from the perspective of ancient forest life. The Batwa Trail tour, which starts at the Ntebeko park headquarters of Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, takes 4-5 hours. The cultural tour is guided by trained Batwa guides who showcase cultural norms such as harvesting herbs for medicine and wild honey, their old ways of fetching water using bamboo made "mugs" and construction demo of grass thatched huts. The Batwa Trail ends with a cultural show/dance by the Batwa families at the Garama cave entrance, a ceremonial ground for Batwa cultural leaders. The cave was such a symbolic place in the Batwa culture, and you will be proud to be part of this experience.

Abbiamo scielto di arrivare anche qui per vedere le Golden Monkey, anche se qui è possibile vedere altre famiglie di Gorilla. è stata l'unica giornata di pioggia continua che non ha certo reso facile la visita, che tra l'altro è molto lunga e ad un'altezza non indifferente, per cui il fiato manca di continuo. Alla fine del percorso in montagna è possibile visitare il villaggio attivguo riservato ai pigmei (Batwa). L'uganda non è ricchissima ma ovunque si ha la sensazione che vista la natura rigogliosa tutti abbiano a disposizione delle risirse. I Batwa erano abituati a cacciare nelle foreste, che essendo ora riserve protette sono loro rese inacessibili. Per cui hanno loro riservato degli spazi agricoli ... che non gradiscono molto. All'arrivo tutto il villaggio ci ha dato il benvenuto e raccolto in un edificio molto grande ci hanno riservato balli e canti. I bimbi ti strappano il cuore con i loro sguardi e alla distribuzione di un po' di cose si è vista la felicità immensa nel loro viso. Questa tappa può essere mncata !!
