At Sumatra Orangutan Trekking, we organize unique and unforgettable jungle trekking eco tours that help preserve the Gunung Leuser National Park and its endangered orangutans. But we offer more than just traditional trekking experiences.

Our English-speaking guides are certified by the Indonesia Tourist Guides Association (ITGA-HPI Himpunan Pramuwisata Indonesia), and they enjoy sharing their knowledge with you while they help keep the Gunung Leuser National Park clean and safe for both humans and animals!

Our day tours and activities make a difference in the local community. When you purchase one of our trekking tours, 10% of the proceeds go to children in Bukit Lawang who can’t afford to go to school and single mothers who struggle financially. This money helps the children attend school and eventually find jobs that will allow them to support themselves and their families.

Just finished our three-day trip with Waka and his team, and it honestly was an incredible experience. We saw lots of wildlife from the get-go, including orangutans on the first morning and throughout. We were even lucky enough to see a large alpha male up close. Waka spoke fantastic English, answered any questions we had, and looked after us even after we left the jungle. Suki, the chef, did an amazing job—the food was incredible, and we were provided with more than enough each day. We were also treated to fresh fruit throughout the hikes. The base camps are basic, as you would expect out in the jungle, but they really added to the experience. Be warned you need lots of mosquito repellent for both mosquitoes and leeches. 5/5 — a fantastic experience.
Exciting jungle adventure

Our small group had a wonderful experience in the jungle. Kiran our guide was great in spotting the Oran Utans and other Monkeys even when day were hiding due to the rain. The camps are very basic but the oder everything you need for the few days in the jungle. The evening we spend playing cards and laughing and enjoying the fascinating stories from the jungle. During the days we were offered options multiple times whether we want to focus more on trekking, animals or relaxing at the campsites.
Jungle Trek with Amri and Roji

We had the most incredible experience, we can’t say enough good things. The trek itself was breathtaking. We saw over 10 orangutans throughout our trek, including two males and several mothers with their babies, in addition to numerous other monkeys and birds, including Hornbills. Our guides were everything you could hope for and more—brilliant, kind, funny, patient, and such a pleasure to be around. They were excited and eager to share endless information about the jungle animals and plant life, which was so appreciated. They also encouraged us to spend as much time as we wanted observing the orangutans. The food we had on the trek was also SO GOOD! They must do an insane amount of work behind the scenes to create the most amazing and pleasurable experience. We slept by rivers both nights and had cozy, relaxed evenings. On our second day we encountered a turtle with a fishing hook stuck in its mouth, and Amri and Roji took the time to remove the hook. I’d say what meant the most to me on the trip was seeing how much our guides cared about the environment—how much it seemed they were “checking on” the animals, paying attention to make sure guests were respectful of them, picking up any small pieces of trash they passed, and even saving a turtle! The whole company is incredible- Dedek was extremely communicative with us weeks prior to us even leaving for our trip, ensuring that all the details of our trip were thought through and taken care of. We had a late arrival in Medan and he made sure we had a private car to bring us to Bukit Lawang that evening, and the same for our departure. On our final day in Sumatra, Dedek organized for us to do a tour to see the worlds largest flower with another guide, Rei, and that was also amazing. Our driver throughout the trip, Herman, was awesome. I truly can’t emphasize enough how good of a job this company does, and how stellar their employees are. If you end up on a trek with Amri and Roji, I’m jealous! We adore these guys. Just make sure you remember to tip (and well)—these guys do such hard work!

Had the best time with Sumatra orangutan trekking!! My husband and I did the 3 day, 2 night trek and were in a group with 3 other people. We saw all of the wildlife that we’d hope to see. Our guide, Dani, was the best. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about the jungle and the animals and his energy was incredible. The guides and other workers truly take care of you - the food is amazing and we were never hungry. Campsite beds are bare bones, but that’s to be expected while camping in the jungle :). Dani knew we were looking for a physical challenge, so he did take us through some challenging routes which added to the adventure. I would recommend communicating with your guide ahead of time about how challenging of a trek you’re looking for and they can adjust based on your fitness level/what you’re looking for. They also arranged airport transportation and pre-trek accommodation for us and the whole process was so easy and convenient. I cannot say enough good things about Sumatra Orangutan Trekking - wish I could go back and do it all over again!

This 3-day / 2-night jungle trek was unforgettable! The team truly respects the animals and the environment, which made the experience feel meaningful and responsible. There are many Teams also from other companies in the Jungle and all the Teams work together, which makes the probability of findling Orang Utans higher, but it also can create situations, where quite a lot of people are grouped next to an Orang Utan. As our Guide Nasir was very good at finding Orang Utans, we founded ~50% of the Orang Utans on our own and had some time next to them with our small group. Overall, our guides, Nasir and Justin, were knowledgeable, fun, and made us feel safe the whole time. Very open minded guys with respect for nature, women and men. The food cooked by Indra was delicious! Great breakfast Sandwiches, Tea and Coffee with Fried bananas or bisquits, Dinner with various Currys, Soups or other traditional meals. Do not underestimate the fitnesslevel you need, especially for the Trips with one or more nights in the Jungle. Overall, a fantastic experience that I highly recommend. Don’t miss this tour!

We wish we could give 5 stars, as the trek itself and Brem were amazing, but unfortunately our experience ended on a disappointing note. The 3-day jungle trek was wonderful — Brem was very attentive and knowledgeable, the food was delicious, and the camps were comfortable (for the jungle, of course!). We also saw many different animals thanks to Brem, who always knew the right paths to take. Sadly, when we got our bags back, we found they had been tampered with — some items were misplaced, the bag wasn’t closed the way we had left it, and 400,000 IDR was missing. The bags are stored above the restaurant, not in locked storage, and we never received any follow-up after reporting the issue. We don’t want to harm the company, as they offer great treks, but we hope sharing this helps prevent it from happening again. Keep your valuables with you during the trek, even if you can only take a small bag. It was disappointing to have such a wonderful experience end on a sour note.
Amazing experience make sure you get Waka as a guide!

It was amazing !! Waka is so good and made our experience amazing. He made us feel very safe, knew everything about the jungle and was so fun to hang around will definitely be recommending waka as a guide to anyone. Riske was a great jungle boy and our chef pudra also made amazing food. Highly recommend the 4 day trek to anyone. Only downside was we did not see a tiger but I am not sure I wanted to anyway
Absolutely incredible

My boyfriend and I had the most amazing time with Nasir, Raffi and the team during our 3 day trek. We saw three orangutans on day one and four on day two, including two mums and their babies!! The second mum and baby we saw were literally waiting for us at our second campsite so we were really close to them. The food at camp also absolutely surpassed our expectations - Sugi, our chef, did an incredible job. From start to finish we had a magical few days ticking off a bucket list experience for both of us and would absolutely recommend doing the trek with this amazing team.
Felt like trekking with friends who happen to be jungle experts

My girlfriend and I did the three day trek with Nasir and Raffi. We saw orangutans within a couple of hours and ended up with a mum and baby swinging through our camp on day 2. The trekking had some sweaty climbs but the guides kept the mood fun the whole time with stories, jokes, and a bit of Halloween jungle magic that I still can’t explain. They also pointed out loads of plants, insects and sounds in the jungle and explained what everything was used for which was really interesting. Sugi (Jungle Momma) cooked unreal meals for lunch and dinner every day. No idea how he does it. After the trek we went to see them back in the village and ended up sat around playing guitar and singing with the whole team. It didn’t feel like a tour at all. It felt like hanging out with friends who happened to know the jungle better than anyone. I won’t be able to properly explain how good these guys are or how much effort goes in to making it a good experience. I’ll be telling everyone I know who visits Sumatra to book with them.
