Start your jungle adventure with Irwan - the house owner, also a 20-year experienced orangutan trekker (licensed), who particularly knows how to handle Mina, a well-known aggressive female orangutan, as he had been involved observing orangutan's behaviour, including Mina's, in an academic research.

Somehow we no longer recommend an elephant ride, as the skeleton of the elephant is not very suited to carrying anything more than its own weight. If it is necessary to ride an elephant, from a health perspective, it is better to sit on the back of the neck.
