Orangutan and Wildlife Safaris
Northern Sumatra is a land full of volcanoes, lakes, thick virgin forests, lush vegetation, rice fields, mountain streams, waterfalls and sandy beaches and perfect for your wildlife holiday.
Producing over 30% of Indonesia's exports Northern Sumatra is one of the richest provinces, at the same time as offering nature lovers an abundance of wildlife including the Sumatran Orang-Utan, the Sumatran Elephant and the Sumatran Tiger. With a variety of different tribes and ethnicities from all over the province the art and culture of this region with its variety of different beliefs, religions and traditional customs is a paradise for social scientists. A combination of the local culture, tropical panoramas and jungle covered hills makes this a perfect adventure break.
What to Expect: Sumatra is for the adventurous traveller. Accommodation is in comfortable but basic eco-lodges or caverns and tents in the jungle and activities revolve more around trekking through the rainforest and rafting the rivers than sitting back in luxury suites at your 5 star resort! The wildlife and culture is fantastic with primary rainforest, crystal clear rivers and the "old men of the forest" this is a true adventure which few people have experienced before.
