WITNESS:

" A truly memorable experience!! The chimp that jumped on our 4x4 on the way to Nyungwe, the hike downhill from Uwinka to Banda filled with breathtaking scenery, the adventurous canopy walk, the adorable kids surrounding us with their wide smiles,the sounds of the drums building anticipation and excitement, the traditional dance of Banda that made me can't help but get up and join the dance, the gorgeous king's hut, the traditional wedding ceremony, the visit to the village's blacksmith, bee keeping, traditional medicine, banana beer making and so many more encounters made the Banda Village experience absolutely incredible"

The day I visited this village and saw what they had to offer was one of the most impactful days of my life.
