Our Story
Meet the orangutans
Meet the Orangutans was created from a love for the rainforest, its wildlife and the people who call Bukit Lawang home.
We want to share more than a glimpse of the jungle. For us, it's not just about seeing wildlife.
To see is to spot.
To meet is to slow down, observe and learn.
We believe tourism can bring real benefits to the local community. By creating opportunities for local guides, porters, cooks, camp workers and others, tourism can give more people a reason to value and protect the forest.
We are committed to reducing single-use plastics on our trips and supporting responsible tourism and conservation in Bukit Lawang.
That is why we chose the name
Meet the Orangutans.
For us, it means more than simply seeing wildlife. It means connecting, respecting and protecting the incredible rainforest we are lucky to call home.

Founder and Head Guide
I have been guiding guests from Bukit Lawang into Gunung Leuser National Park for 16 years, and I still personally lead jungle treks today.
Over the years, I have developed a deep knowledge of the rainforest, its wildlife, trails and changing conditions. For me, guiding is about more than finding orangutans. It is about helping guests experience the rainforest safely, respectfully and at a natural pace.
Every trek is different, and I enjoy sharing what I have learned about the forest, its wildlife and life in Bukit Lawang with our guests.
