Dance in the hills of Bwindi

The Bakiga dance is one of the key dances of the region’s Bakiga tribe.  We welcome you to join us and learn – you even get to wear traditional dress.

The Bakiga dance is a celebratory dance demonstrating happiness. The dancing of the Bakiga tribe is known for its show of strength with stamping aplenty! It is a huge amount of fun and great exercise all in the stunning setting of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, home to Uganda’s mountain gorillas.

On Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, the R4W dancing group go up to the gorilla trekking area to represent some of the Bakiga tribe traditional songs and dances before the trekking starts. But you can also come to the R4W centre and dance here with us!

We recommend combining this typically one-hour long activity with our traditional cooking activity.

If you want to arrange the activity contact us or you can wait until you come to Ride 4 a Woman and let us know then.

Duration:

1 Hour (we can adjust times to your schedule)

Includes:

Coffee/tea break in the beautiful dining hall, with home-made doughnuts and cinnamon bread made onsite using a local recipe (we will even share the recipe!)

“We learnt about the Bakiga tribe and the origins of the Kiga dance. Eve and the ladies taught us piece by piece, building our confidence until we were able to do the whole thing. Such great fun.”
