The conservation of the rainforest, orangutans and the tour operator I believe are at the heart of this project. The lodge employs local people.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
From day 1 memorable, interesting, satisfying, an amazing experience with Kate and her team taking great care of us. I was lucky enough to have fantastic fellow volunteers.Adrian Smith review 5 Nov 2019
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Every second was amazing. No part was less memorable that another. Not exactly a holiday. You are there to work and provide enrichment and stimulus to the Orang Utangs and Sun Bears.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Take plenty of mosquito repellent ! Plenty to spare wellington boots at the Lodge. Be prepared for cold showers.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes. That is the purpose of the project - especially as far as the animals are concerned.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Ten out of Ten. Great group of people to be spending 2 weeks with.. Local team very good to work with. Team leader and project coordinator very professional and knowledgeable.Holiday Reviews
You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
