“Four day trek. It was a great few nights in the jungle with nice people and guides. However we were give the option of a short walk on day 1 (thankfully we all declined) and had a long trek and saw lots of what we came for. Day 2 was very short started late and finished just after lunch. Had a nice swim in a waterfall after lunch but saw no wildlife which is what I came for. Day 3 was better, a decent days trekking and saw a great orangutan up close with just our small group. Day 4 was no trekking, no wildlife and tubing out of camp…”
