Uganda: Batwa Pygmy Village

November 26, 2025

Lake Bunyonyi, Uganda — where mist hugs mountains, and silence tells stories. A boat ride moves across ancient volcanic islands to meet the Batwa Pygmy, one of Africa’s oldest forest tribes. Grounding dance, rhythm, craft, and everyday life unfold in raw wonder and human connection. Grateful to Keije Resort Bunyonyi for bringing me here and making this moment possible.
