Members' reviews on SUMATRA ORANGUTAN EXPLORE
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
Le trek 3 jours / 2 nuits était génial, à la fois accessible en famille avec nos ados de 15 et 11 ans, suffisamment difficile pour être satisfait en fin de journée, assez long pour s’imprégner profondément de la forêt, avec des campements a la fois roots et sécurisants pour la nuit, avec baignade dans la rivière.
3 jours de trekking dans la forêt, de longues pauses pour observer les singes dans la nature, déguster des fruits frais ou des repas aux petits oignons, servis avec soin dans les traditionnelles feuilles de bananier…
Nous avons eu la chance d’observer des macaques à longue queue, des macaques à queue de cochon, les endémiques Thomas Leaf monkey, plusieurs orangs-outans, souvent accompagnées de leur petit, et enfin des Siamang (de la famille des gibbons). Quelle chance !
Un immense merci aussi à Nanda, pour sa disponibilité, sa gentillesse et sa réactivité. Grâce à lui, tout a été fluide et sans stress.
Enfin, merci à toute l’équipe de Sumatra Orang Outans Explore pour leur accueil, leurs sourires et leur bienveillance. Nous repartons avec des souvenirs plein la tête – une expérience inoubliable, que nous recommandons les yeux fermés !
C'était magique nous avons vu 12 orang outans !! Nos guides Bobby et Ivan étaient aux petits soins tout au long du trek.Nous avions eu droit à plusieurs pauses repas d'une qualité surprenante en pleine jungle, dégustation de fruits tous les matins c'était très appréciable avec la chaleur! L'animation et le repas au camp étaient aussi au top.
Le prix, qui peut paraître un peu cher en indonesie, est vraiment un gage de qualité tant sur la qualité de la nourriture que la compétence des guides en terme de connaissances ET de respect de la nature.
Je recommande !!
