Welcome to Sumatra Orangutan Tour! Visiting Sumatra is synonymous with endless action as it has unique activities for the most adventurous travelers. About 100 km northwest of the capital, Bukit Lawang is a riverside town on the edge of Mount Leuser National Park. In the past, this village was a kind of sanctuary for orangutans and although no longer exists, it is still a good basis for watching our red-haired cousins. Mount Leuser National Park is listed by UNESCO as one of the most biodiversity areas of the planet. In addition to primates, the park is home to hundreds of species of other mammals and birds, most of them rare or endangered. A private guide is essential during the visit, both to help us locate the orangutans in the jungle dens and to protect the delicate ecosystem.
During our Sumatra Orangutan Tour, we will do several walking routes through the interior of the jungle and we will have the opportunity to experience what it feels like to spend a night camping on the banks of a river in the middle of nature. We will visit several waterfalls and continue our adventure by doing an incredible rafting in a unique and fascinating location such as the Wampu river.
Finally, we will finish our trip with a guided tour of the city of Medan, where we will discover the authentic urban Indonesia, including the ruined Dutch colonial buildings, the Sultan’s Palace and the street food stalls that come to life as the Sun.
Arrival at the new Kuala Namu International Airport, Medan. Upon your arrival our guide will be waiting for you. Then in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle we will go to Bukit Lawang. On the way to Bukit Lawang you will have a stop at the rubber and palm oil plantations and a crocodile farm.
