# The Last Eight Forest Masters – Batwa Cultural Experience

This video introduces** the Batwa Cultural Experience**, a rare and deeply humbling highlight of **the 7-day Chimps and Gorillas Tracking Expedition**. The Batwa were the original inhabitants of **the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest**, living in harmony with the land for centuries. 

Today, it is a unique privilege to meet them, as only eight of the original Batwa forest masters are believed to remain, with ages ranging from 80 to 110 years old.
