You have the feeling that you are really in the jungle. away from the crowds and luxury. there are only a few places and no other tour operators so it is exclusive and no crowds. you are also in a side branch of the river extra away from the crowd. we had chosen 4 days with 3 nights to really switch off from a few weeks of traveling and to have a better chance of seeing the orangutan. we were lucky to spot one next to the camp on day 2! Guide Jai was alert and heard it coming and called us. In addition, we saw many crocodiles on both the large river and the side branch where we stayed. proboscis monkeys, many bird species such as hornbills, king fishers and sea eagles and owl. With the night walk saw a mini python. also a jungle chicken. with four days we did an evening cruise on the river, night walk, morning cruises and a long tour on the river both on both waters. the last day we were with two so a private environment without others. really away from civilization what we wanted. we went to caves for bats and also came across an orangutan! Jai gave us a great time and knows a lot and really searches with you for animals and knows how to find and name them. You notice that this is his passion and ambition. Jai is a topper and asset and determines how you can experience a tour. Do not look for luxury but enjoy peace and animals and a unique experience! minimum 2 nights recommended with max 3 nights. No internet and 3 meals a day. Current between 5 and 10. spotting orangutan you have to be lucky and we were! month September with low river water. Thank you Jai and the crew for an unforgettable time! I wish you all the best. given your drive and personality I have every confidence in that! Kr Claudia&Dustin
