WHY
WILD NATURE TRIPS
At Wild Nature Trips, we create
responsible nature trips
and ecotourism stays in Sumatra,
far from mass tourism.
Based in Bukit Lawang, in the heart of the rainforest, our immersive treks take you to meet orangutans in the wild and
discover exceptional biodiversity.
Accompanied by experienced local guides, you will explore the jungle on authentic treks among wild rivers, tropical birds, primates, and authentic encounters with local communities.
Founded by Cloé, a passionate biologist, the agency designs tailor-made responsible trips
in small groups for lovers of nature, adventure, and reconnecting with life.
Our values and our engagements
Naturalist Expertise
Designed by a biologist who has lived and worked in Bukit Lawang for years.
Every itinerary is built to maximise wildlife encounters, always respectfully.
Ethical and Committed Ecotourism
Zero plastic, zero palm oil, local sourcing, support for Bukit Lawang's school and local families.
Travelling here means directly contributing to rainforest conservation.
Outstanding
local guides
Our guides are ITGA-HPI (the local guide association) certified, English-speaking, and know the jungle inside out.
Each was chosen to share the same values of nature protection and for their specialization in certain species.
Tara, our lead guide, has been leading treks since 2013!

“ I had an amazing week in Bukit Lawang, with a 3-day trek guided by Tara. We saw an incredible number of animals (Orangutans, of course, but the morning song of the Gibbon was truly mesmerizing) and so many fascinating plants. Sleeping by the water was rejuvenating, and the food was fantastic - I got to taste so many dishes, I definitely ate too much! ^^ The tubing ride back was hilarious, especially since I was completely exhausted!
After that, I enjoyed a wonderful massage and an amazing cooking lesson…
I have such great memories, thank you! ”

“ I had the absolute best experience trekking through the jungle with Tara as my guide. This was easily one of my most memorable trips to date! Tara’s deep knowledge of the area and genuine appreciation for nature made the experience even more special. I felt completely safe the entire time, learned so much, and had an absolute blast.
Seeing wild orangutans in their natural habitat was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience—something I will never forget. After an incredible hike, we camped in the jungle and tubing back was an exciting and fun way to end the journey.
Bukit Lawang itself is such a charming town, filled with warm and welcoming people.
I can’t recommend this experience enough!”

"I was able to go on a two-day trek in the Sumatran jungle with Tara.
It was an unforgettable experience!
Tara knows the jungle like the back of her hand, and we were able to spot orangutans and many other monkeys. This entire trek was, of course, done with respect for nature, and we discovered all the beauty of the jungle.
Thanks again to Cloé (for the organization),
to Tara and the whole team
for this great adventure!
I highly recommend it."
