What's important to us?
In Gunung Leuser National Park, many animals are endangered, including the Sumatran tiger, Sumatran elephant, Sumatran rhinoceros, and the park’s native inhabitants—the orangutans. Orangutans are critically endangered, with their population rapidly declining due to deforestation, habitat loss, and illegal hunting. These majestic primates play a vital role in maintaining the health of the rainforest ecosystem, dispersing seeds and promoting biodiversity. Protecting orangutans means safeguarding the entire jungle and the countless species that depend on it. By preserving their natural habitat, we ensure the survival of these gentle creatures and maintain the delicate balance of one of the world’s most essential ecosystems. Every trek you take with us contributes to this mission, as we plant a tree for each trek. Together, we can spread awareness and ensure future generations have the chance to witness these majestic animals in the wild.

Awesome trekking experience!!! - I had an awesome experience with “Sumatra Orangutours”. I did the 3D/2N trekking tour. The entire organisation of the trip was excellent. The group was small (5 people) and our... read more 2 amazing guides Nabil and Dandy made that trip very special. They have a great knowledge about the jungle and of course about the orangutans and explained a lot to us. Also they are spreading such a positive energy which made the entire group very happy. We saw many orangutans, Thomas leaf monkeys, gibbons and some other kinds. The food was extremely delicious (thanks to the chef!) and in the evenings we enjoyed playing card games and even did a bonfire at the river. Awesome!
I highly recommend this tour and hope to come back one day. Thanks again and all the best for you guys. You rock
September 3, 2024Katherine BGreat experience - As a solo traveller, I joined a group jungle trek for 2 night / 3 days. Over that time, we saw multiple orangutans in the wild which was a magical... read more experience. The guides were brilliant - very knowledgeable about wildlife, lots of fun (with card games in the evening) yet also responsible (when someone in the group was unwell, they whipped out a comprehensive first aid kit). I was also really impressed with the quality of the food provided - a delicious spread in the evenings (even as a vegetarian I was well catered for) and lots of fruit during the day. The overnight camping accommodation was very basic with no running water or electricity; for me this was all part of the jungle experience, but I recognize that this may not be for everyone.
