We did a forest walk with the Batwa pygmy tribe in Echuya forest which was an absolutely fascinating insight into how the pygmy's traditionally lived in and with the forest, taking everything that they needed (e.g. food and medicine) from the forest itself.
It was amazing to see how they could pick out what they needed from the thick forest.
Following this, we walked up to the top of the ridge and were greeted by the whole village and entertained with their traditional music and dance as well as a demonstration of making fire the "old-fashioned" way as well as in archery. We even got to try our hand at archery.
We even got our own entourage on our way back down the hill - they really made us feel like royalty.
Thoroughly recommend this to anyone in the vicinity of Lake Bunyonyi.

Who are the Batwa or Pygmy
Echuya Batwa, commonly known as pygmies ( they are called Pygmies because of their short height), are an endangered group of people around Echuya Forest Reserve in Kisoro and Kabale Districts of South-Western Uganda. The Batwa are the original people of the rainforest who are the primary inhabitants of the Montane Rainforests of Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi. They lived, gathered and hunted in the rainforest since time in memorial. They were never involved in farming, there was no destruction of the forest, no charcoal making, their shelters did not disturb the environment, they lived in harmony with their beloved forests, wildlife including the Mountain Gorillas and left a low ecological footprint behind them.
The Batwa Pygmies led a simple and harmonious way of life. There is a Batwa saying “A Mutwa (Singular Batwa) loves the forest as much as he loves his own body.”
Today the Batwa are stigmatized as Gorilla killers and poachers and are readily blamed for any poaching that takes place in either Bwindi Impenetrable Forest or Mgahinga Gorilla Park.
Pain points of the Batwa People
● Children of the Batwa need regular finances to keep them in school.
● The youth of the Batwa need to learn some training skills to help them to regularly earn a living, such as sewing, carpentry or metallurgy.
● The Batwa people have no medical facilities, not even water.
● Half the Batwa do not know to write and to read the local language.
Source of livelihood for Batwa
Batwa in this area lead a life of plight and poverty. They don’t have regular means of livelihood, they find inconsistent jobs and their existence is primarily dependant on the mercy of other people. They live a life of hand to mouth.
Dance of Batwa People
In Batwa society dancing serves the dual purpose of recounting history and a communal expression of joy. Batwa dance deserves more recognition and respect.
The Voice of Batwa People
The Batwa people have gotten a voice, there are Batwa organizations within Uganda that are speaking out and making a difference on their own behalf. The Dream still is to go back into the forest and live in coexistence with their environment and that includes the Mountain Gorillas where they hope once again to live peacefully with the Mountain Gorillas.
The Batwa Dream is to go back into their Forest and once again live in harmonious existence with the Forest, Wildlife, and Gorillas.

I added the Batwa cultural trail to my gorilla visit to better understand the people who had been evicted from the national park, so I could see the gorillas. It almost became the highlight of the trip - a beatiful walk through the jungle, on an easy trail, and a sunny day, and every 20 minutes or so the Batwa men woudl stop to explain, or act out, some aspect of their culture - the hunt, honey collecting, house building, etc. They made the trip fun, said just enough to keep it interesting, and were great mime artists!! Well worth the extra day, and good preparation for the gorilla walk.
