Orangutans in the mist - er- mud

Happy 2023!!

I've started the new year off by taking an amazing trip to Gunung Leuser National Park, Bukit Lawang, Sumatra, Indonesia to observe wild Sumatran Orangutans.

I will write a very lengthy, detailed account of my trip very soon. Suffice it to say, everything I could have wished to see was displayed in front of me. I learned and experienced so many things during my expedition. I am grateful for the experience, my guide, my family and the beautiful wildlife of Gunung Leuser.
