Brilliant from start to finish!

Sumatra Trekkers were brilliant from start to finish. Properly organised, genuinely friendly, and clearly passionate about the jungle. Amri’s eye for spotting wildlife is incredible. We saw orangutans quietly moving through the canopy, including a mother and her baby just taking their time among the trees. It was magical, and felt so natural, with no crowds or gimmicks. Karan made sure everything ran smoothly and kept us comfortable the whole time. Honestly, one of the best wildlife experiences we’ve ever had, unforgettable.

If you’re looking for the Gold Standard…

If you’re looking for the real Gunung Leuser experience, look no further. We did a multi-day trek and the camp setups were impressive, the food was wholesome and we loved watching the team make the food for us and show us how they make it. Our guides, Amri & Karan, knew every sound and movement in the forest. We saw orangutans, Thomas Leaf monkeys, and even heard a gibbon call. Sumatra Trekkers is the gold standard for Bukit Lawang.
