Indonesia
Orangutans & Dragons
Indonesia, the land of diverse flora and fauna! If you’re a true wildlife enthusiast, you must visit Bukit Lawang and Komodo Island.
Bukit Lawang is a small village located in Gunung Leuser National Park, North Sumatra. It’s a prime location for spotting orangutans and gibbons in their natural habitat. Take a guided trek through the jungle to spot these majestic creatures swinging from tree to tree, enjoying the lush green canopy of the forest.
The views are breathtaking, and the fresh air is rejuvenating. You’ll feel one with nature as you explore the winding paths that lead to unique forest habitat and clear mountain streams.


Once you’ve quenched your thirst for adventure in Bukit Lawang, it’s time to head to Komodo Island. The Komodo National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to the world’s largest lizard species, the Komodo dragon.
Board our boat and travel between the islands to spot these magnificent creatures sunbathing on their rocky outcrops or hunting their prey.
The journey itself is an adventure, and you’ll love the peace and quiet of the stunning islands while taking in the incredible views of the surrounding sea.
In addition to the Komodo dragons, the islands are home to a wide range of marine life. The crystal-clear waters are perfect for snorkeling.
You’ll see colourful corals, schools of fish, and even spot the occasional manta ray or shark.

Behind the Scenes
“What I love about the forest in Sumatra is that it is raw nature, an untouched wild, rugged habitat where you can observe animals living in their environment. I love watching a siamang swing through the trees or an orangutan hang from a branch. When you enter the forest, the canopy swallows the light, it’s like stepping into another world.

“To look into the eyes of one of our closest relatives is a humbling experience. These gorgeous red people of the forest are incredibly photogenic. The way their fur contrasts with the beautiful lush green forest is mesmerising! To hear the call of the gibbons whilst you are hiking in the forest will give you goosebumps.”
