This unforgettable journey will take you deep in the jungle of Sumatra - one of the richest and most diverse tropical forests in the world. We offer you the possibility to really experience what is like to live in the jungle, which is why we don’t leave it for 5 straight days, spending each night in a tent camp. There will be some amazing food cooked on fire and our shower will be the river. All this is sandwiched between playing with orangutans in the beginning and bathing some elephants, towards the end of your journey.
We will visit Bukit Lawang, which is an orangutan rehabilitation center, where formerly captive apes are re-introduced into the wild. The village looks like the free living community Mougly (from the Jungle Book) sees when nearing the humans, after spending all of his life in the jungle. It is on a river, it is surrounded by life and its ecologically mindful.
Another place we will visit is Tangkahan which is the hidden paradise of Sumatra, with its clean rivers, waterfalls, amazing flora, weaving around the rope bridges. There, we will help the locals wash and feed an elephant. Tangkahan is another great example on how community based ecotourism can stop illegal logging, improve livelihood, and develop a sense of pride amongst the locals. In the end we get to contribute and plant a few trees.

Khiva in short Khiva, Uzbekistan is a walled Silk Road town in the far west of the country, close to the border with Turkmenistan. Its inner town, Itchan Kala, became Uzbekistan's first UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1990. Inside the mud-brick walls you'll find mosques, madrasas, palaces and minarets packed so tightly that you can walk from one gate to the other in about 15 minutes. People still...

A Cameroon tour delivers more variety in one country than most African itineraries manage across three. Rainforest, volcanic peaks, Sahel savannah, Atlantic beaches and more than 250 ethnic groups sit within a single set of borders - which is why geographers have long called Cameroon "Africa in miniature". It is also one of the continent's least visited destinations, so the crowds you...

A Mozambique tour swaps the safari-vehicle crowds for something rarer: 2,500 kilometres of Indian Ocean coastline, coral reefs that rank among the healthiest in Africa, and an Afro-Portuguese culture you will not find anywhere else on the continent. This is a beach-and-culture destination first, a wildlife one second - and that is exactly why it appeals to travellers who have already ticked off...
