Bunyoro dance as Tourism Attraction.
 |
| Entogoro Dance |
While in
Bunyoro, you may also engage in a courtship dance with a local group of men and
women.
In Bunyoro, runyege and entogoro traditional dance is ceremonial. It is also a courtship dance performed by the youth when it is time for them to choose partners for marriage. The dance was named after the rattles (ebinyege and entogoro) that are tied on the boys’ legs to produce percussion rhythms.
The sound produced by rattles is exciting as it blends with the main beat, the songs and drum rhythms.
You can proceed to the Albertine Rift Valley through Kitoba-Kigorobya on Butiaba Road, and when you reach the edge of the western Great Rift Valley, you can make a stopover and take photos of the beautiful landscape.
Then you will descend to the bottom of the escarpment to Kibiro, where salt is extracted traditionally, using local tools and methods. There are hot springs not so far away, a short distance to Lake Albert, which will provide another spectacular view.
From here, one can continue to Biiso-Masindi, where Murchison Falls National Park is the main tourist attraction. Masindi also boasts Budongo Forest Reserve, the most extensive and ecologically diverse forest in East Africa. It has over 465 plant species and is located about 25 miles west of Masindi on Butiaba Road.
