If you love gibbons this is a fun and unique way to support them directly while spending time with them in close proximity. You wake up to the sound of them singing, which is very early in the morning so it is a very rare opportunity to experience. You can wander about the site watching them play in the morning. The site itself is great, cleared and flat with a campfire and rocking chairs, as well as a nice grill that is yours to use.
One of the most unique camping experiences so far! Waking up at 6:00am to the sounds of singing apes is pretty incredible. Our host Alma was so welcoming and was more than happy to show us around and answer any questions we had about the gibbons. The work they do is amazing and inspiring, such a wonderful experience.
This "camping experience" was a gift to a friend, and he said: "This was a life-changing experience for me. It exceeded every expectation of mine. The campsite was great; and, I have never met more friendly, more knowledgeable, more patient and more dedicated animal-conservation people in my life. And, I can't think of a better way to start a day than by being awakened in my tent by the 'singing' of gibbons -- gibbons that appeared and behaved as the comfortable, healthy and very well cared-for gibbons they are!"
Wonderful place! Loved hanging out with Gibbons. Such amazing animals. I learned a lot about them and their behaviors
Yes they sing in the morning!
Just pitch your tent and enjoy watching the Gibbons play, eat and sing!
Fun place to hang out and camp
The host and staff were really friendly. Be prepared for some unique gibbon singing at sunrise and beyond. Overall it was an enjoyable stay.
There is nothing like waking up to Gibbons at 5:30am. It is so peaceful. One of the most amazing experiences.
