What we offer
Experiences
Half a day or several days, all of it led by people from the community.
The swamp and the birds

Our community
A walk shaped by the people who live here
Bigodi's guides share the landscape they know through conversation, observation and everyday stories. Come curious, ask questions and take your time.
The walks are organised and run by Bigodi residents, as Bigodi Community Walk — BICOWA.
