This large tropical rainforest is home to Orangutans, Proboscis Monkeys, Macaques, Langurs and Gibbons. From our base at Rimba Lodge we travel by klotok river boats to view primates and birds in the lowland forest.
Way Kambas National Park on Southern Sumatra has the richest wildlife and is known as "Africa of Asia".
