Ride 4 Woman Trails for Mountain Biking
Ride 4 a Woman - Forest Trail: This is a three hour guided bicycle ride through Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, where your emphasis can be on birding, or simply enjoying this ancient forest.
Bike Ride to the River Ivy and then return back with plenty to see along the ways such as monkeys, squirrels, duiker and at times chimpanzees or even Mountain Gorillas.
Your guides are all well trained in pointing out the things that you might otherwise miss. For the avid or novice biker Bwindi Impenetrable Forest provides the perfect backdrop for such an activity.

Take with you a bite to eat and also lots of water-take a break in the forest and take it all in.
Ride 4 a Woman - Village Bike Ride: This is a two hour option and basically follows the route that you take when you take the village walk, except you are on a mountain bike. Do not worry, there is not much traffic here, it is you and inhabitants of Buhoma.
On this bike ride you will learn both the ways of the Bagika and Batwa people and you will see and learn things that you were unaware of.
Visit the craft center, the banana brewery and gin distillery, the river where the women wash their clothes and you can see an abundance of butterflies on the rock, the traditional healer with his medicines from the forest, Mukono Primary School and of course the Batwa Pygmy community. All on a mountain bike with your guide by your side to answer your question and point out the different things within in the community.
