Ujung Kulon Javan Rhino Tour
Region : Ujung Kulon PROGRAM A : Ujung Kulon Wild has a Javan Rhino expedition since 1990 and planned for today, we have dates (the best time is on dry time - June to September)) There are still some spaces available if you are interested. We also have an optional extension for other endemic mammals of the Ujung Kulon including Javan small-toothed palm civet, Javan slow loris, Javan gibbon, Ebony langur, Javan warty pig to go alongside the possible chance of seeing the critically endangered and wonderful Javan rhino. Ujung Kulon Wild is specialises in trips for some of the rarest and most elusive species and we hope you can join us on our quest for the Javan Rhino. Tour Itinerary (the best time at Dry Seson) : DAY 01 : JAKARTA - UJUNG KULON NATIONAL PARK DAY ; 02-08 : UJUNG KULON NATIONAL PARK * Alongside the rhinos there are many other species in the park, like all tropical forests there are many species of birds, reptiles and amphibians. Mammal wise there are Javan gibbons and ebony lutungs (both endemic to Java) in the trees, various squirrels around, Javan small-toothed palm civets, bantengs and even leopards in the park. However the leopards have a near mythical status here and the rhinos are seen a lot more often. It is also worth keeping an eye out in the rivers and sea as there are salt-water crocodiles here and so be careful when near the river banks and keep your hands and feet inside the canoe at all times. We will return to the camp for our meals and of course our tents for each night. We estimate that hiking per day will be around 2-3 hours, however some days maybe longer (~6 hours) and others much shorter. DAY 09 : HANDELEUM ISLAND - UJUNG KULON DAY 10 : UJUNG KULON - JAKARTA * Please note that the itinerary stated above is correct as our planned intentions for the tour. However adverse weather conditions and other local considerations can necessitate some modifications of the itinerary during the course of the tour; any changes will be made to make the best of the time and weather conditions available to us. This tour is available on different date (subject to availability) please contact us for more details about running this tour on a date which suits you more. * Note : Stay for couple day on the jungle camp on "platform" and hide inside for waiting Rhinos and used the canoe through river for waiting Rhinos Remark : The trip itinerary is very much dependent on the weather conditions and may make changes accordingly |
