The transfers from Medan and the trekking was amazing. Very well organised. The guide and the porters were the best. We travelled with children and they had the best time. The food during the trekking was very good too. If you want a private tour make should you specify it again when at the accommodation before the trekking. The 5 stars review is for the organisation, the transfers and the trekking, not for the accommodation in Ketambe

Our trip to Ketambe was outstanding. From collection from our hotel, to delivery back to a different hotel, it was long, but seamless. On the first day of our 3d2n (5days total) journey, my husband felt unable to continue and we had to return to the Thousand Hills, but Joseph arranged for me to rejoin my group the following day. We had some thrilling encounters with orangutans, including an alpha male and saw gibbons, macaques and a selection of birds and insects and trees. We bathed in river jacuzzis and hot springs, and ate delicious food prepared by our guide who worked tirelessly to make our trip memorable. He succeeded. I felt much more comfortable in a place where the animals are truly wild and it was lovely being off grid. We played cards and chatted and our guide set us some brain teasers to keep us entertained by candlelight in the evenings. It is hot and hard going, and I never thought I’d sleep but I did, and it leaves you feeling a sense of accomplishment! An experience absolutely not to be missed. Thank you all

What an amazing adventure! We did the 3D2N Orangutan trek. We were picked up and driven to the beautiful One Thousand Hills guest house. Joseph was lovely and could cook up amazing food in the tiny kitchen. We set off with our guide Ish (sorry for the spelling) on our trek. He said his English was bad but we thought it was great. He was so informative about the jungle and all that lived there. He was also great at spotting the animals. We saw lots of orangutans, including a baby which made my day! Our camp was great and Tamund (again sorry for the spelling) cooked us more food than we could eat for each meal! We ate by candle light on an evening, it was just amazing. The trek was at points tricky but Ish was always there to help. We crossed the river a couple of times and that was also a little scary but added to the adventure! When we arrived back at the guest house what had felt quite basic at the beginning suddenly felt like luxury. I would highly recommend this trip.
