Love Jahoo

2 days

Moderate

Inspired by the lifelong bond of gibbons—share an overnight jungle escape, explore the forest after dark, and wake to their love songs at dawn.

Tour Highlights

Begin your journey with a scenic arrival at Jahoo at 4 PM, just as the jungle begins its transition into the evening. Orientate yourself at our Bamboo Camp, learning about our vital research and community initiatives, before preparing for an immersive overnight stay in the heart of the Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary.

As dusk settles, embark on an exhilarating nocturnal night walk. Led by expert eyes, you'll search the canopy and undergrowth for elusive creatures like the Pygmy Slow Loris and Small-toothed Palm Civet that only emerge after the sun sets.

The adventure continues at dawn as you wake to the enchanting calls of the endangered Southern Yellow-cheeked Crested Gibbons. Follow their melodies through the misty forest for an unforgettable gibbon watching experience at first light. Afterwards, return back to the camp to enjoy a sunrise breakfast overlooking the forest while the sanctuary awakens around you.

      Customer Guidance and Conditions

      Group sizes: tours are limited to 1 per day and 1-6 guests per tour as we aim to reduce potential negative human impacts on the wild gibbons and optimize chances of viewing the gibbons.

      Age limit: we do not accept bookings for Jahoo tours to people younger than 10 years old – this is because children of less than 10 years old might not be able to deal in an appropriate manner with dangerous situations, endure strenuous hiking and follow wildlife-watching protocol such as remaining quiet and calm around the gibbons.

      Accommodation: the Bamboo Camp at Jahoo is a unique destination and includes a dining room & lounge, bathrooms with western-style toilets and showers (not heated), kitchen (with set meal of Asian/Bunong cuisine) and comfortable huts with beds and night-sky view. Staying the night at Jahoo is an experience and provides possibilities of night-safaris and a more relaxed early morning start as you leave the camp at dawn and follow the song of the gibbons to locate them in the forest.

      Physical condition: trekking at Jahoo is physically demanding due to tropical conditions and steep terrain and guests should have a good physical condition to endure hiking in a tropical climate on steep forest trails.

      Clothing: guest should wear comfortable outdoor clothes of neutral colors(avoiding white, red, blue and yellow). Long trousers and long-sleeved tops are most culturally appropriate and provide best protection against biting insects and stinging plants.

      Health: management retain the right to deny access to the forest any guest displaying symptoms of transmissible diseases (e.g. cold, diarrhoea) that could compromise the safety of endangered wildlife and community staff.

      Behaviour: on arrival the guide will explain appropriate and inappropriate forest and gibbon watching behaviour including remaining quiet and calm around the gibbons and other wildlife. Guests must follow these guidelines, the Jahoo staff retains the right to stop the tour and return guests to camp if these guidelines are not followed.

      Weather: wildlife watching opportunities can be impacted by the weather. The dry season November-April is on average the best for successful wildlife watching, however, strong dry winds from December to January can make wildlife watching challenging. From May to August, the weather becomes wetter with more rainstorms generally in the afternoon and evenings, which makes hikes and overnight stays at the camp more challenging. September to October is peak rainy season, rain is expected continuously during this period, guests should be well prepared for wet weather during this period.

      Guarantees: There is no 100% guarantee that we will see gibbons or any other wildlife. They are wild animals in a wild environment, we do our best to maximize opportunities for viewing wild animals but cannot guarantee views. Generally, the longer the stay the more opportunities for successful wildlife watching.
