Orang Utan Jungle Experience - Great Jungle Experience! I really recommend our Guide Marwan and Chef Indra. We saw many orang utans and a lot of the other animals in Sumatra. The camp Sites were beautiful. They served more than enough food and it was always delicious. Also the rafting was more fun than expected so we would really recommend to do the 3 day Trip! Thanks to everyone for this great experience :)

BEST TRIP EVER - This was an INCREDIBLE experience. This tour doesn’t simply offer you a chance to see Orangutans, what we experienced was a full immersion in the jungle. Seeing and hearing the sights and sounds of the jungle and sleeping amongst the animals was such a cool experience. Our guides were fantastic, Ian cracked jokes the entire time and safely guided us through the various terrains. Oh and the jungle taxi (river raft) was so much fun!

Amazing trek - Amazing few days in the jungle. Kian, kamal and dedi were a great support team. Kian was a great guide we saw orang-utans, white handed gibbons, monkeys, turtles, peacocks. So much wildlife. Food was amazing and great portions! The orang-utans came into the camp. Then to top an awesome few days we rafted back to camp. Take ya own blow up pillow and lots of mozzy spray. We were lucky to see them in the rainy season.

The BEST experience!!! - We can only say that it has been incredible! unbeatable - monkey business is a local company! The vast majority belong to European companies, it makes no sense to come to Sumatra, to visit the Sumatra jungle, with local guides, and have the benefits end up in European companies, so this is a great reason to choose this company. We were welcomed by Geo, who is a charming and friendly woman, she makes everything very easy and makes you feel at home from minute one. - The great team that accompanied us, Ian, Kamal and Dedy, made this experience unsurpassable, the treatment towards us was excellent, Chef Kamal's food was incredible, Ian and Dedy who accompanied us through the jungle were very attentive at all times of our well-being and locating as many animals as possible, very grateful to have had them as companions on this trip! Ask them to accompany you, you will not regret it. - and finally, say that this place is incredible, the jungle, the animals, the camps... this experience will not leave you indifferent, you will be able to see many types of animals and you will never forget these days. By the way, finish the experience by descending the river rafting from the jungle to Bukit Lawang, super fun. solo podemos decir q ha sido increible! inmejorable - monkey business es una compañia local! la gran mayoria pertenecen a compañías europeas, no tiene sentido venir a sumatra, a visitar la selva de sumatra, con guias locales, y q los beneficios acaben en empresas europeas, asi q este es un gran motivo para escoger esta empresa. nos recibio Geo que es una mujer encantadora y simpática, hace q todo sea muy facil y te hace sentir como en casa desde el minuto uno. - el gran equipo q nos acompaño Ian, Kamal y Dedy hicieron de esta experiencia algo insuperable, el trato hacia nosotros fue excelente, la comida del chef Kamal increíble, Ian y Dedy q nos acompañaban por la selva estaban muy atentos en todo momento de nuestro bienestar y de localizar el máximo de animales posibles, muy agradecidos de haberlos tenido de compañeros en este viaje! pedir q sean ellos los q os acompañen, no os arrepentiréis. - y por ultimo decir q este lugar es increíble, la selva, los animales, los campamentos... esta experiencia no os dejara indiferentes, podreis ver muchos tipos de animales y no olvidaréis jamas estos dias. por cierto, finalizar la experiencia descendiendo el rio haciendo rafting desde la selva a Bukit Lawang super divertido.

Amazing, Local, Animal Friendly Jungle Trek - Ian and Kamal provided an amazing experience for my wife and I. And what made it even better is that this is a local company! Animal friendly! We started our trek, and immediately saw an 🦧 with her child. The tour guides made us feel safe and they were clear about the instructions when encountering animals. They told us that they were our bodyguards, made us feel very safe. There were enough breaks and the guides made sure we got enough water and rest time. We also saw a big Male urang utan and we saw both black and white gibbons (some of them were literally in trees above our camp! We also saw a komodo dragon and a Toucan! Our guides always made sure that we had a great angle to take pictures and videos. The camp itself consisted of a hut with a mosquito net. The guides had their own tent and there was another tent for cooking and eating. The food we had was amazing considering that we were in the middle of the jungle. This trek is not easy though, and if your stamina and/or mobility is poor, I would recommend working in those things before doing this. The hills in the jungle are very steep and slippery when wet. At the end, we rafted back, and it was a lot of fun! I will nover forget this experience!
