Indonesia - Wildlife

The Emerald of the Equator! At the end of 2022 we made a four week trip to this huge and very varied country, spending about one week in each of Sumatra, Java, Bali and Flores (see map) - so really just scratching the surface. We really wanted to see the wildlife in the jungles of Sumatra and on the islands off Flores, but also the many differing cultures and histories throughout the islands and of course the ubiquitous volcanoes! We saw so much that I've organised the photos into six albums: landscapes, palaces, people, temples, traditional houses and wildlife (this one). Wow! Such a thrill to see wild Orangutan in the Gunung Leuser National Park at Bukit Lawang and Komodo dragons on Komodo Island (both happily protected UNESCO World Heritage Sites), but also the many other wildlife. Many thanks to our driver/guides (Narwin, Hary, Wayan and Heryon) and all our local guides for such great guiding. Fantastic!
