Authentic and local exclusive tour - We spent 3 days with Sumatra Orangutan treks. The tour is local and the guides are locals from Sumatra. Compared to other tours, the tour is quite exclusive. We were two people with a guide and his son. Amet taught us many things about flora and fauna. We had the chance to see 5 orangutans. The bungalow was comfortable and the jungle view very relaxing. They have a restaurant where the food was great! We thank Chef Linda for her good food. The staff is super smiling. Big Daddy, the manager is very caring and will make your stay super pleasant:-) If you want an authentic and local experience, which supports local tourism, Sumatra Orangutan treks will meet your expectations. Thanks Big Daddy, Amet, Asri, Linda and all the staff for this wonderful experience.

Couldn’t recommend more - I’ve done the jungle immersion with Amat and Amso in August 2023 and was amazing, they are both very knowledgeable about the jungle and the orangutans, but are also super friendly. I went alone and a driver picked me up at the airport and drove me to the lodge, and the same on my day back. The guys bring food prepared for the meals and loads of fruit for snacking along the trek, everything was great. I was in a group of 4 and slept in a improv tent with mattresses and mesh nets.

Great Tours and Hospitality at Sumatra Orangutan Treks!" - My girlfriend and I recently spent two nights at Sumatra Orangutan Treks and we absolutely love our experience! The cottage was beautiful and spotless, which really added to the comfort of our stay. We enjoyed a jungle trek, a bat caves tour and a village tour, all fantastically organised and informative thanks to our wonderful guide, Helmi Mowgli. He was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, and really contributed to our unforgettable experience. We also saw Orangutans up close, very impressive! The food was also excellent - delicious and well prepared. We would highly recommend Sumatra Orangutan Treks to anyone looking for an adventure experience in Sumatra. Thank you to the whole team for making our stay so special!

Adventure to remember!! - Together with a friend I started this adventure. We have done several trips like Bat caves, jungle trekking and to a village. The whole experience was so special. I have travelled a lot and this is my most beautiful experience yet. The owners / guides are friendly everything is arranged to perfection and yes a nice spacious lunch! If you book these trips I would say check booking.com for the stays they offer because wow....Also the cottage is super clean with air conditioning, spacious bathroom and beautiful views. The guide Helmi our Mowgli of the jungle did everything to spot animals in the jungle. We saw 5 Orangutans up close!! And that was just the beginning of what we all got to see. At the end of the trips we got a super nice keepsake. I recommend this trip 100%!!

Perfect Tour with excellent Tourguides in the Jungle! - It was a very nice trekking trip with 2 very cool guides (Tondi and BamBang). We were perfectly accompanied through the jungle and were able to see many other monkeys in addition to the orangutans. During the trip there were plenty of fruits to snack on and a decent meal at any time of the day. In the evening the cooks prepared a delicious meal in the camp. Big thanks to the cooks Wamda and Amto. The camps were very idyllic and perfect for resting at night. It was very tiring, but a very nice experience.

Unbelievable! Unforgettable! Amazing! - Unbelievable! Unforgettable! Amazing! Our jungle adventure was so much fun! We saw two mama orangutans with babies. Took many photos. Saw Thomas’s leaf monkeys. They are friendly and are not afraid to get very close to people. To keep us safe, our jungle experts kept a close eye on our interactions. From the moment we arrived, we loved every minute with our jungle experts 😁. Always happy, energetic, knowledgeable, helpful, attentive,….The bungalow was a jaw dropping gorgeous, spacious surrounded by beautiful grounds. Restaurant was amazingly convenient. Great menu! Those 3 days went by so fast. We wanted more. I think a week would have been a better choice. This experience was truly one of a kind.
