Living the Ranger’s Life

5D4N Way Kambas National Park

  • East Lampung, Sumatra

Deep Into the Ultimate Way Kambas: A Ranger’s Journey

This 5D4N journey brings you deep into the wild heart of Way Kambas National Park. You won’t just visit a national park; you’ll step behind the scenes with rangers, walk through protected zones few travellers ever enter, and witness the raw, everyday work of a ranger patrolling the place they call home, safeguarding species from poachers.

While most wildlife trips only offer surface-level encounters, this one takes you further into patrol routes, research areas, forest edges where elephants migrate, and community-led conservation spaces that are normally off-limits. You’ll learn, explore, and directly contribute to the local community economies and wildlife protectionΒ of Way Kambas simply by being here.

What to Expect

  • Access 50% of exclusive, closed-to-the-public sites for a truly authentic conservation experience.
  • Join rangers on a 98km river & 3-6km jungle patrol; observe wildlife tracks, learn how they fight poaching, and protect the forest.
  • Spend a night deep in the forest, where rangers usually set up camp.
  • Listen to real conservation stories, discussion about poaching and how to prevent it, and a question-and-answer session with the ranger.
  • Gain rare access to Elephant Jungle Camps closed to the public, where you’ll meet patrol elephants and their mahouts.
  • Guided by local experts and our Escape Crew, a biologist bachelor or a naturalist guide with 16 years’ experience, your journey will reveal hidden stories of nature.
  • Experience a journey shaped by exclusivity, authenticity, and encounters you won’t find on regular tours.

 

Things to Know

  • By joining the trip, you help protect the area by adding a ranger patrol schedule for security and conservation monitoring.
  • During ranger patrol, you’ll be camping with no showers and nature or onboard boat toilets.
  • Most activities are moderate to challenging, as each day involves 8 – 12 hours spent outdoors in the heat/humid climate.
  • Homestays use shared rooms (4 people), bunkbed-style with AC and shared bathrooms; some groups get 2-person rooms.
  • Local Escape identification vests are provided to enter restricted areas, and other essential gear such as binoculars, flashlights, tents, sleeping mats, and camping equipment.
  • The region is hot and sunny for most of the year; sunscreen, hats, and breathable clothes are essential.
  • Mobile signal is generally available except inside deep forest zones, such as during the wildlife safari.
  • Avoid bringing suitcases; soft bags like carriers or duffels are much more convenient for this trip.
  • You also directly support local eco-livelihoods and contribute to the local BUMDes cooperative, which empowers communities living near the park.
