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 - supporting the Batwa communities, who have been oppressed for quite some time. It’s a 3-hour experience, and the energy and excitement with which the Batwa share their culture, including making a fire from scratch, plenty of song and dance, a very cool cave at the end, is spectacular. It’s also a very pleasant walk through a beautiful jungle.

We walked for approximately 3 hours in the Mgahinga park with group of 4 Batwas showing us different scenes from their traditional life which ended some 25 years ago. Collecting water, making fire, welcome ceremony, quite funny scene of hunting, visiting lava tunnel which served as they secret gathering place, dancing and singing and more. It must be unforgettable for children! They obviously enjoyed the walk as much as we did. The highlight was when they found a nest of forest bees and extracted the honey leaving the queen and bees in the nest to build it again (and not killing them). That wasn't a show but a real passion and joy when they were digging and slurping the honey. Only pity that most people who visit the park miss this experience and go only for gorillas. In every case be ready for really bad road from Kisoro to the park despite it runs through quite inhabited area (though very poor).
