What travellers say

Thank you Wandi and his team at WILD for an unforgettable Jungle experience Trek. We did the 3D2N experience and couldn't have asked for a better time. A once in a lifetime unforgettable experience. You have to do this trek.

It was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had. The food was absolutely delicious, even for someone like me who is a very picky eater. Our guide, Rio, shared so much interesting information about nature and made the whole experience even better.

As soon as we arrived in Bukit Lawang we were greeted by our guide Wandi who was kind enough to offer us dinner in his family home. We then spent three brilliant days immersed in the jungle surrounded by breathtaking wildlife. You won't find a better company/guide in Bukit Lawang to do this trek with!

Quite literally the best organised tour I have EVER done. Thank you Wandi and his team for hosting us on the orangutan tour. They were incredibly kind, hospitable, took us to the best spots, amazing food, comfortable accommodation. Please use Wild Bukit Lawang, you won't regret it!

In totaal met 8 mensen hebben we de 2D1N Jungle trek gedaan met Wandi & zijn team. Ze waren allemaal super vriendelijk en professioneel. Alles was goed verzorgd, van de trekking tot eten en spelletjes aan het kampvuur. Zeker een aanrader!

Onze gids Wandi was super vriendelijk en wist veel te vertellen over de natuur. Tijdens onze trekking hebben we 2 vrouwelijke orang-oetans en een mannetje gespot, ongelofelijk indrukwekkend. De organisatie bewaarde een gepaste afstand en deed de dieren niet opjagen, wat ik belangrijk vind vanuit een ethisch oogpunt.
