Primates and Dragons of Indonesia

Fantastic way to see both orang-utans and komodo dragons in the wild. It is difficult to find a trip that takes you to Komodo, so this one is great that you get to both Komodo and Rinca.

Also got to see many other animals, including turtles and a shark whilst snorkelling, snakes and lizards and other primates.

Trip notes list the trip as moderate activity but first few days are a lot more active than that.

Most Inspirational Moment

Getting so close to the orang-utans was something special.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Eddy was very helpful and knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble for him.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take plenty of mosquito spray as the mosquitos are plentiful in Sumatra. Make sure you are fairly fit to cope with the jungle treks, the trip to the bat cave and the volcano trek.

Suggestions

Thoroughly enjoyed the holiday. Spending a night on a boat was very relaxing. Lots of travelling is involved between the different islands, and you see the inside of several airports during the trip. Was not very excited by Sanur in Bali, but thankfully you only spend half a day there. Hotels were great, as was the food.

Primates and Dragons of Indonesia

A thoroughly superb trip which does exactly what it says on the tin. The encounters with Orangs are magical. These animals that you see are rehabilitated so are used to humans and therefore are unafraid to approach you. The truly wild orangs will keep their distance. We also encountered a funky gibbon that was partial to a bit of fruit. The jungle at Bukit Lawang is hot and steamy, so be prepared, and the optional extra walk is well worth doing as it takes you deeper into the jungle and offers plenty of opportunities to fall over!!! Two days on board the boat from Flores is a great time to reflect on the passing world before you jump back in the sea to snorkel, recover from lunch or prepare yourself to meet a Komodo Dragon

Most Inspirational Moment

I fully expected to be overawed by orangs and dragons. However, we were lucky and saw manta rays just below us whilst snorkelling. The first encounter blew my mind.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Evie. brilliant, hard working and SO helpful.

Advice for Potential Travellers

The trip notes hint that Brestagi is cool enough for a warm jumper, but we found that a long sleeve shirt was sufficient. Be aware that Bukit Lawang is hot and steamy, Komodo and Rinca islands in the middle of the day can be like ovens. The two day boat trip is very dependant on currents, so you get to where you're going when you get there. Be prepared for changes to the internal flight schedules from Medan down to Flores but just go with it and enjoy the experience.

Suggestions

Food in general is cheap, beer varies hugely, from Â£2 to Â£4 for a big bottle of Biltang. Spending costs in the trip notes seems to be about right.
