From the get go, Expedition Jungle were very professional and reliable. My emails were answered swiftly by Murad and no question seemed silly. As we were travelling with our 2 boys aged 11 and 3, of course I had many silly 'mummy' questions. Murad replied to them promptly and efficiently. When we arrived in Medan, we were met by surprisingly... More

Booking and pre-booking queries were swiftly responded to by Clare. Spent day one trekking through the jungle to the jungle camp - very wet and slippy under foot. I found it pretty hardcore, often only grabbing at vines saved me from slipping into the ether. Long long hard steep trekking day. Amazing meal cooked at camp, although too much cooked... More

I cannot recommend this company and the trip enough, we had a brilliant time. As per other comments, to begin with Claire was very helpful when we were planning our time with expedition jungle. They made everything so easy for us. We did a customised trip, they picked us up from Medan, 2 days trekking in the Bukit Lawang jungle... More

Just got back from Sumatra and wanted to let other travelers know about this great company. I was very impressed with Claire, one of the owners of the company. From the moment I contacted her, she was very helpful and quick to respond to all of our questions. My sister and I chose a custom made trip, and it was... More

We just returned from a trip to Bukit Lawang and Tangkahan. The eco lodge was adequate, but quite a distance from the village center and very basic. The hike to view the orangutans was challenging- about a 45 minute hike straight up a hill (very steep with steep steps). It also required crossing a river in a canoe. My brother... More

My boyfriend and I had been desperate to do a trek through the rainforest for years, so when we planned to go to Sumatra, this was a definite must. I contacted Expedition Jungle and was put in touch with Clare Rambe - she could not of been more helpful. Not only did she give us a more than reasonable price... More

I travelled with my 11 years old son by expedition jungle. We had a wonderful, unforgetable experience. Everything was well organized: from the warm welcome over the b3 days jungle trek to a jeep trip to Tangkahan. Bukit Lawang is paradise for those that love nature, orangutans, friendly, smiling people and a warm abient. Arriving there is like coming home.... More

My visit to Bukit Lawang was quite literally the best 10 days of my life. The whole experience was outstanding and gave me a completely more open minded view of the world. This was achieved through jungle tours, treks and getting to know the local culture through the people, food and just hanging out in the village. The main reason... More
