We really enjoyed the trip. You basically get exactly what has been communicated on the website. It is not a luxury trip but the rooms are clean, have even warm showers and cozy beds. The river cruises were also great. We saw monkeys, crocodiles and even elephants. The guide was very keen to make it a nice experience and was also quite good in English. The dinner and breakfast was great as well. It was not only a lot of food but also a wide range of different options. There was different kind of meat, rice and noodles, vegetables, fruits, etc. for dinner and toast, fruits, pancakes, scrambled, fried and even boiled eggs for breakfast. Altogether: We can really recommend it for low to mid-budget travelers.

Amazing trip, we really couldn't fault our time spent with the company. Accommodation was really clean, comfortable and the water was nice and hot! The tour itself was incredible and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Would fully recommend - in fact we have got two friends booking now!

Our guide was absolutely amazing. He was very passionate about the animals and his village. We were very lucky to see orangutans and pygmy elephants. If you're reading this, do it! You won't regret it. It's an experience you will never forget. The food was good, they provided for us vegetarians. The rooms are clean. The staff there are very welcoming and lovely.
