Wildlife lovers are being offered the chance to take part in two rare adventures in Indonesia that will help raise money to aid endangered wildlife.
Both trips offer the chance to get up close and personal with some magnificent wildlife, while raising money for The Orangutan Project.
The two challenging trips are the Last Place on Earth Challenge (August 19-September 5) and the Trans Borneo Challenge (November 1-22).
Both expeditions will be guided by Orangutan Odysseys and will see travellers explore exquisite terrain while while raising money to support orangutan conservation and rain forest protection.
