Sumatra Jungle Challenge

Trek Deep Into the Sumatran Jungle

Push yourself beyond your comfort zone on an unforgettable rainforest expedition through the wild heart of Indonesia — all while raising vital funds for charity.

Trek through dense jungle, cross rivers, camp beneath the rainforest canopy and search for rare wildlife including wild orangutans in one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth.

This is raw adventure at its most rewarding.

The expedition takes place in Gunung Leuser National Park, one of the only places in the world where wild Sumatran orangutans can still be seen in their natural habitat.
