Wildlife Encounters: Primates & Dragons of Indonesia

Komodo dragons, orang-utans, volcanoes and rainforests

Discover orang-utans in the primal jungles of Sumatra and a far less visited rehabilitation centre (than its Borneo neighbour), before tracking the fearsome Komodo dragons, the world largest lizard around the archipelago of Komodo National Park.

Two of Indonesia's most impressive wildlife experiences not enough for you? Then how about climbing an active volcano or snorkelling coral reefs?

What makes this trip responsible?

Tourism can be a real help to local communities, providing income, positive cultural exchanges and a financial incentive to protect their natural environment. Ours is a 'total approach' to responsible tourism, covering everything from the way we plan and operate our trips to the practices of Exodus as a company. Local restaurants are used for lunch stops throughout the trip benefitting the local community, and our visits to the orang utan rehabilitation centre and Komodo National park helps support conservation.
