I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves! Every went really well. I paid for a private trip.. my guide Ruslan was very experienced. Within 10 minutes we found a mother and child. Then maybe 30 minutes after Ruslan could hear the big male. He was about 200 metres away at first, but then he came within 10ft. It was a great experience…

went to see Orangutans and we were not disappointed. lilly our guide from medan was brilliant very knowledgeable and really good company. Ruslan our guide at the park was just amazing so knowledgeable and a really nice guy. he warned before we left it was siesta time for the Orangutan and we weren't guaranteed to see them. we met a couple of people who hadn't seen any we kept going and Ruslan spotted an Orangutan high in the canopy its was really difficult to see at times but we sat it out and he eventually came down for some fruit the guid had put out. WOW what an experience it really has made coming to sumatra worth while. thank you Ruslan.
