Occupying three-quarters of Borneo, the third largest island in the world, the Indonesian province of Kalimantan is an adventure in every sense of the word. Remote jungle, snaking rivers and interior mountains serve up endless opportunities for exploration.
No trip to Kalimantan would be complete without glimpsing the orangutans in the wild. This is the best place in the world to see the noble orang-utan sharing the remaining jungle canopy with acrobatic gibbons and proboscis monkeys.
We move slowly through the island of Java stopping over at Mount Bromo to photograph the stars over moonlike landscape and Kawah Ijen to view the blue flames. Then we cross over to Bali where our adventure continues with more landscapes and awakening our visual senses to the Balinese culture.
Independent travelling in a small group of up to six participants. A great way to bond with other like-minded travel photographers! During the tour
