5.00Anne may not currently live in Sumatra she lived there enough to know perfectly the island, the accommodation, the airports, the basic logistics (transport, SIM card, various advice ..) . Everyone knows her and loves her there, it is a sure value and a respected woman. She perfectly managed my 15 days solo (bukit lawang, mentawais and Raoul Tintin ecolodge). She is always available to answer your questions and that is reassuring. Basically me who is used to backpack trips and change of scenery I come back enchanted. Do not hesitate , please contact . There are always ragers who will find a loophole but at that moment go alone and fend for yourself. Thank you Anne and thank you to all her team there.
Exceptional!

5.00Good morning , Following our trip to Sumatra from 04 to 05/22/24, we wanted to comment on the organization of this trip to Indonesia. First of all we wanted to thank Samba Lado for the flawless organization of our stay, the professionalism of our driver and our guide during the duration of their support and occasional support by other interlocutors always lives up to our expectations and requests. The choice of sites and meetings sometimes improvised during our travels was the opportunity to share unforgettable moments (wedding, funeral) with a kind, welcoming people ready to help you without anything in return. We owe all this to Anne and her entire team on site who ensured that our stay was as perfect as possible and it was beyond our expectations. Thanks again .
👍👍👍
