I’ve been fascinated with the wildlife of Southeast Asia—namely the gigantic, mysterious islands of Borneo, Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi—from the time I first visited Sabah at age 9. Since then, I’ve dreamt of returning to the region by myself to search for wildlife.
In November of 2024, I fulfilled my long-standing dream by planning and executing two solo wildlife trips to Sulawesi & Sumatra. This post specifically catalogues my four-day trip to Way Kambas National Park, Sumatra in early November, 2024: a short but epic eco-adventure where I racked up more species of mammals & birds than any other single location I’d been to previously. I returned to Singapore with nearly 100 bird lifers & 16 mammal lifers—incredible for only 96 hours in a single park!
Two of the coolest finds of the trip: a Large Frogmouth (left) and a Sunda Slow Loris (right)
I stayed at the lovely Satwa Elephant Ecolodge (Link) for four nights, which was my home base for trips into Way Kambas National Park to look for wildlife. The lodge is conveniently situated only a few hundred meters from the park entrance and was very comfortable and well-run. I was also the only guest there for the entire duration of my trip, which was slightly bizarre (given how nice the lodge was) but also pleasant and relaxing. Most of my time in Sumatra was spent inside the national park, and aside from the early afternoons, I was unable to enjoy the Satwa Lodge grounds.
My guide for the duration of my trip to Way Kambas was none other than the outstanding, animal-whispering Hari Yono of Ecolodges Indonesia. He’s renowned among regional wildlife enthusiasts for his deep knowledge of the birds and mammals of Way Kambas, and for his uncanny ability to locate them in the extremely dense secondary forests of the park. I owe every animal I saw in the park (feathered and furred) to him, and I cannot recommend his services enough!
On a different note, Way Kambas is not the place to visit on a budget. It was expensive ($1,300 USD for a 4-night tour package for 1 pax) but worth the money, and I will definitely be back eventually. I highly recommend booking trips to Way Kambas through Ecolodges Indonesia. The company organizes everything for you, including Hari’s guiding services and your stay at Satwa Lodge. By booking through Ecolodges Indonesia, you also bypass dealing with all the irritating bureaucracy (park fees, ranger fees, camera fees, etc.) surrounding Way Kambas National Park visits.
Satwa Elephant Ecolodge
Before I recount all of the amazing wildlife I spotted in Way Kambas, I’ll provide a little background info on the national park and the wildlife-watching methodology utilized by Hari and myself during my visit.
For starters, Way Kambas National Park is a last oasis for many of Sumatra’s highly threatened lowland forest fauna. Though the park’s 1300 km² area was logged extensively in the 1960s & 70s, it still retains one of the largest remaining contiguous blocks of lowland rainforest on the island of Sumatra. Likewise, it possesses an almost ridiculous number of threatened and charismatic mammal & bird species that seek refuge in the park’s verdant interior. Sun Bear, Sumatran Elephant, Sumatran Tiger, Sumatran Rhino, Malayan Tapir, Oriental Bay Owl, Great Argus Pheasant, 3 frogmouth species, and White-winged Duck are just a few of the many majestic creatures found in Way Kambas.
Though many of the park’s mammals & birds are incredibly elusive, the prospect of encountering a mouthwatering diversity of Sumatran animals on a single trip made Way Kambas an ideal location for my 2024 Sumatra adventure.
Wildlife spotting in Way Kambas
Most of the birding and mammal watching in the park was done between 5am-11am and 3:30pm-10pm along the Upper Jeep Track (5.4km long) and the Lower Jeep Track (8.5km long). See the map above for locational references. Hari and I used a safari vehicle owned by Satwa Lodge to traverse the jeep tracks, though we also spent significant amounts of time on foot searching for wildlife.
Besides the jeep tracks, there was also the option of taking a boat trip down the Way Kanan River deep into the park for additional mammal and bird species. My boat trip was expensive but ended up being a worthy addition to my trip, though I didn’t enjoy the deafening, smoke-belching engine on the national park boat.
Wildlife spotting (and especially spotlighting) in the dense secondary forests of the park was far from easy, but hardworking Hari knew exactly how and where to locate the creatures of Way Kambas. In total, I did four afternoon/evening and three morning bird/mammal excursions into the park, including one river boat trip, and wish I had time to do more!

With Hari at my aid, I racked up 133 bird and 30 mammal species (29 positively ID’d) over only 4 days in Way Kambas, including species coveted by wildlife-watchers around the world like Western Tarsier, Sunda Slow Loris, Mitered Langur, Siamang, Sunda Leopard Cat, Crested Partridge, Sunda, Large & Gould’s Frogmouths, Oriental Bay Owl, 5 different broadbills, 3 different trogons, Malayan Crested Fireback, and just to rub salt in the wound a Sun Bear!
Going over my Sumatra trip day-by-day in this post would take far too long—instead, I will share photographs of many of the noteworthy mammal and bird species I spotted on my trip, and for my personal favorite species, I will provide detailed accounts of my encounters with them. Hope you enjoy this new post format!
Sumatra Trip Dates Reference:

- Day 2- November 8th, 2024
- Day 3- November 9th, 2024
- Day 4- November 10th, 2024
Sun Bear:
The highlight of my Sumatra trip was encountering this amazing bear species in the wild. What an incredible stroke of luck!
It was about 8pm on the evening of Day 4, about 3km from the Way Kanan Substation. Hari and I got out of the car for one last attempt at finding a Pen-tailed Treeshrew (a spectacular small mammal that unfortunately eluded me on this particular trip). We heard loud crashing noises about 50m into the forest right next to the car, which Hari correctly identified as a Sun Bear ripping apart a beehive. We tried to pinpoint the exact location of the noises for about ten minutes, when suddenly we heard the bear walking toward us! For our own safety, Hari had us get back into the car as the animal approached, and turned off all lights. The huffing and crashing noises of the bear walking through the forest kept getting louder until they were only a few meters from the car.
At this point, Hari told me to get my camera ready, and turned on his spotlight. A mere 5 meters away there it was! The black, furry back of a Sun Bear!! As soon as the spotlight was pointed at it, the bear briskly dashed deep into the forest. Still an amazing and very rare encounter with one of Southeast Asia’s most charismatic mammals!
I don’t have a record shot of the Sun Bear I saw, but above is a photo of Sun Bear claw marks right next to the jeep track that Hari pointed out on the evening of Day 1.
Oriental Bay Owl:
Spectacular owl species; quite possibly the bird highlight of my Sumatra trip. After two evenings of night-birding for owls with little luck, having gotten tantalisingly close to spotting a Reddish Scops Owl on two separate occasions on the evenings of Day 2 and Day 3, I was praying for just one proper owl tick for the trip. And boy, oh boy, were my prayers answered!
Hari played Oriental Bay Owl songs on his portable speaker for a good portion of our Day 1 and Day 2 night walks to try and lure one out of the forest, and finally, on the evening of Day 3, while we sat in the jeep in the pitch-black, he found one on his thermal scope right next to the jeep! He motioned for me to get out of the vehicle quietly, which I did. My heart was racing and my body was flooded with anticipation.
Hari flicked on his spotlight, and right in front of us, staring straight at me, was an amazing Oriental Bay Owl! The owl stuck around for a mere thirty seconds before flying off into the forest, but it was an unforgettable thirty seconds nonetheless.
Sunda Leopard Cat:
This spotted felid was a big target of mine prior to visiting Sumatra, and I was lucky to see no fewer than 7 individuals throughout my trip in the mornings and evenings. The first one was spotted on the evening of Day 1 crossing the park perimeter road. Individuals were also seen on the morning and evening of Day 2, the early morning of Day 3, and the morning of Day 4 along the Lower Jeep Track. My most memorable and lengthiest encounters with this endearing cat occurred along the Lower Jeep Track late in the evening of Day 2, and early in the morning on Day 3. By far the most common of Way Kambas’ 6 wild cat species, but still a treat to see.
Pheasants & Partridges:
Male Crested Partridge (left), female Crested Partridges (top right), & Crested Firebacks (bottom right)
Way Kambas is a critical refuge for many threatened Sunda gamebirds, including pheasants, junglefowl, & partridges. My game drives through the national park often yielded sightings of genetically pure Red Junglefowl & Malayan Crested Fireback— medium-sized, gregarious pheasant species that are sometimes seen foraging for food together along the jeep tracks.
My favorite gamebird encounter of the trip was undoubtedly of three Crested Partridges on the evening of Day 2— threatened and stunning gamebirds that are rarely seen in Way Kambas. Hari and I happened randomly upon a roosting male and two females in some dense undergrowth while using Hari’s thermal imaging software to try and locate tarsiers and Pen-tailed Treeshrew.
Sunda Slow Loris:
This is a spectacular mammal and was a bucket-list species of mine. I obtained an excellent view of one climbing across a telephone line in the village outside Satwa Lodge on the evening of Day 1. I was giddy with excitement afterwards. It amazes me that such an endangered and normally elusive mammal as the slow loris can be seen comfortably foraging around human settlements, and in fact according to Hari they are quite common here, ironically more so than in the park! The villages bordering Way Kambas, including Satwa Ecolodge and its vicinity, must be some of the best spots on Earth for seeing wild slow loris.
Frogmouths:
Large Frogmouth (left), Gould’s Frogmouth (top right), & Sunda Frogmouth (bottom right)
Way Kambas National Park is widely considered to have some of the best night-birding in Asia. With an outstanding diversity of nocturnal avians present, including owls, frogmouths & nightjars, this is no surprise. One of the primary targets for visiting birders (myself included) are the three frogmouth species found within the park. Frogmouths are enigmatic and unique birds in their own order, the Podargiformes, and are normally difficult to spot in the wild owing to their outstanding camouflage and nocturnal predatory habits. I was lucky enough to see all three Way Kambas frogmouths on my Sumatra trip, and I have interesting notes about my encounters with each species:
Large Frogmouth– A great view of one individual of this fairly massive, mysterious bird perched on a branch about 10m from the ground on the evening of Day 1, spotted from Hari’s motorbike on the paved road skirting the Way Kambas border. Not super common in Way Kambas. A target species of mine along with the other two resident frogmouths.
Gould’s Frogmouth– My second Way Kambas frogmouth species, and a cute one at that. Hari spotlighted an individual right above the Satwa Lodge safari vehicle while we were cruising down the jeep track on the evening of Day 2. The most common frogmouth species in the park.
Sunda Frogmouth– One seen from a medium distance perched on a tree at Satwa Lodge on the evening of Day 2, just after returning from spotlighting in Way Kambas. This was my final of the 3 frogmouth species in Way Kambas. It was a real privilege to spot no fewer than three species of these under-appreciated denizens of the dark on one trip! Thank you, Hari!
Western Tarsier:
Hari and I enjoyed an extremely close-up encounter with an individual of this adorable primate clinging to a sapling in the dense undergrowth off the side of the jeep track on the evening of Day 2. What started off as a slow night of spotlighting ended with a huge stroke of luck. Hari and his incredible knack for finding mammals in the dense rainforest of Way Kambas really came in handy for this species! Western Tarsiers are the rarest of Way Kambas’ 8 primate species, and are seen very sporadically by Hari. In fact, one of the rangers with us that night, who’s worked at Way Kambas for 30 years, had never seen one prior.
Squirrels:
Top row: Cream-colored Giant Squirrel (left) & Black-bellied Squirrel (right)
Middle row: Prevost’s Squirrel (left), Red Giant Flying Squirrel (top right) & Plantain Squirrel (bottom right)
Bottom row: Black Giant Squirrel
The rainforests of Southeast Asia are choc-full of lively and often spectacular tree squirrels of all shapes and sizes. Way Kambas likewise is an excellent place to see a large diversity of squirrel species—from cat-sized Black Giant Squirrels to diminutive Black-eared Pygmy Squirrels that weigh less than a pencil when fully grown. On my trip, I was lucky enough to see no fewer than 9 squirrel species:
Red Giant Flying Squirrel– The most common flying squirrel in Way Kambas and regularly seen by Hari in trees along the Lower Jeep Track. During my Sumatra trip, I encountered this species twice; once after dark (Day 2), and once in the late afternoon (Day 3).
Black-eared Pygmy Squirrel-This tiny squirrel species was particularly difficult to find and observe. Hari spotted one in a sapling along the Lower Jeep Track early in the morning on Day 3, though views of it were fleeting and no record shot could be taken.
Three-striped Ground Squirrel– Day 2. No record shot.
Black-striped Squirrel– Days 2, 3. Fairly common.
Black Giant Squirrel– Day 2
Cream-colored Giant Squirrel– Rarely-seen in Way Kambas according to Hari. Got very lucky and encountered two individuals of this large and beautiful squirrel on a branch right above the jeep on the morning of Day 2.
Prevost’s Squirrel– Days 2, 3, 4. A common but noteworthy species due to its stunning tricolor coat complexion. The specific race of the Prevost’s Squirrels in Way Kambas is unknown, but is potentially Callosciurus prevosti borneensis.
Plantain Squirrel– Days 1, 2, 3, 4. Common.
Slender Squirrel– Day 3. No record shot.
Siamang Gibbon:
These iconic, majestic, and endangered gibbons were, to my delight, common in Way Kambas. Seen on the mornings of Day 2, Day 3, and Day 4, and on the afternoon of Day 3.
I had a very memorable and lengthy encounter with a family group just above the jeep track that broke out into a deafening chorus of ‘whoops’ and screeches on Day 2. The territorial songs of different Siamang families echoed through the forest during my three mornings in Way Kambas.
Broadbills & Barbets:
Top row: Banded Broadbill (left), Dusky Broadbill (top right) & Black-and-red Broadbill (bottom right)
Middle row: Sooty Barbet (left), Red-crowned Barbet (middle) & Black-eared Barbet (right)
Bottom row: Black-and-yellow Broadbill (left) & Green Broadbill (right)
Broadbills, green broadbills, and Asian barbets (families Eurylaimidae, Calyptomenidae, & Megalaimidae) are some of my favorite birds of the Southeast Asian rainforest. Brilliantly-adorned, yet often difficult to locate & photograph, broadbills and barbets present a worthy challenge to eager birders. I myself have had limited success seeing broadbills and barbets during my travels around Asia, despite these birds often being my top trip targets.
My time in Way Kambas with Hari ended this streak of bad luck, with 5 broadbill & 3 barbet species recorded over four days:
Green Broadbill– A small, shy and fast-moving bird, but remarkable in appearance with its vivid green plumage. Bucket-list bird species of mine that I’d wanted to see for two years. Hari drew a flock of two males and a female out of the deep forest on Day 2 by playing their call on loop on his phone speaker. One of my favorite birds from Way Kambas.
Banded Broadbill– Strikingly beautiful bird, and a target species of mine. Seen in the canopy of the rainforest along the Lower Jeep Track on the morning of Day 1. Spotted by Hari.
Black-and-yellow Broadbill– Day 3
Dusky Broadbill– Day 4
Black-and-red Broadbill– Day 3
Red-crowned Barbet– Days 1, 2, 3. Common.
Sooty Barbet– Day 2
Black-eared Barbet– The rarest of the three Way Kambas barbet species. Seen only once, on Day 4.
Langurs & Macaques:
Top row: Mother & baby Mitered Langur (left), lone Mitered Langur (top right) & Long-tailed Macaque (bottom right)
Bottom row: Silvered Langur (left) & Long-tailed Macaques (right)
Langur/Macaque Species Seen:
Mitered Langur– An uncommon and extremely shy, yet beautiful primate species endemic to southern Sumatra. A troop of 3 seen very briefly at around 10am along the Upper Jeep Track on Day 3. All three langurs swiftly retreated deep into the rainforest after we stumbled across them in a tree above to the jeep track. We encountered the same group of 3 langurs at 6:45pm on Day 3, for a slightly longer time than before. We also came across a different troop about halfway down the Upper Jeep Track at 10:45am on Day 4.
Silvered Langur– Common along the Way Kanan River on the afternoon of Day 4.
Long-Tailed Macaque– Days 1, 2, 3, 4. Common.
Sunda Pig-Tailed Macaque– Day 3. No record shots.
Kingfishers:
Top row: Banded Kingfisher (left), Stork-billed Kingfisher (top right) & Rufous-backed Dwarf Kingfisher (bottom right)
Bottom row: Common Kingfisher (left), Rufous-collared Kingfisher (middle) & White-throated Kingfisher (right)
Kingfisher Species Seen:
Rufous-collared Kingfisher– Brilliantly adorned and elusive forest kingfisher. Good but brief sighting of one along Lower Jeep Track on morning of Day 2. Lured out of the forest by Hari using birdsong played over his phone speaker.
Banded Kingfisher– Another great forest kingfisher. One individual in a thicket off the Upper Jeep Track at 11am on Day 3.
Rufous-backed Dwarf Kingfisher– Brightly-colored species; fast-moving but hard to miss. Got a nice, but somewhat concealed view of one in the forest off the Lower Jeep Track just before sunset on Day 3.
Blue-eared Kingfisher- Two seen along the Way Kanan River on the afternoon of Day 4.
Stork-billed Kingfisher– Very common along the Way Kanan River on the afternoon of Day 4.
White-Throated Kingfisher– Days 1, 2, 3, 4. Common.
Common Kingfisher– Day 1
Trogons:
Male Diard’s Trogon (left) & female Scarlet-rumped Trogon (right)
Trogon Species Seen:
Diard’s Trogon– Days 3, 4. Great observation of a male lured out of the deep forest by Hari mimicking its song. I got a great, clear view and a couple nice photos of the beautiful bird before it disappeared.
Scarlet-rumped Trogon– Nice trogon, and one of my target birds for the trip. My second Way Kambas trogon species. We got very good views of a female just off the Lower Jeep Track on Day 3.
Red-naped Trogon– Day 3. No record shots.
Ungulates:
Way Kambas has healthy populations of a number of ungulate species like deer, tapir & wild boar. Some ungulates like the resident Perissodactylans (Sumatran Rhinos & Malayan Tapirs) are very elusive and secretive, while others (muntjacs & mouse-deer) are seen on a daily basis. Here are descriptions of the four ungulates I spotted on my short trip:
Southern Red Muntjac– Male of this species pictured above walking across the jeep track on Day 4. Most commonly-seen large mammal species in Way Kambas. Encountered on Days 1, 2, 3, and 4 at various times of the day, but especially early in the morning at the park entrance.
Sambar– Days 3, 4. Common but very timid.
Lesser Mouse-deer– Only one confirmed sighting on Day 2.
Greater Mouse-deer– Days 2, 3, 4 in the evenings. Common.
Other Forest Birds:
With 406 recorded bird species, Way Kambas National Park spoils visitors with outstanding quantities of Sunda forest specialties like babblers, woodpeckers, bulbuls, leafbirds, paradise-flycatchers, and hornbills. I saw so many birds, in fact, that it was and is hard to fully appreciate all of them. Hopefully the photos I present above do justice to the vibrant palette of exotic avians within the park. A full bird species list for my 2024 Way Kambas trip (including all 133 species I recorded) can be found at the end of this post.

Bats:
Lesser False Vampire Bat (left), Small-disc Roundleaf Bat (top right), & Forest Short-nosed Fruit Bat (bottom right)
Last but not least I have to make mention of the relatively conspicuous bat colonies within Way Kambas National Park, which Hari pointed out with ease. These colonies & roosting areas are located under culverts of the jeep tracks as well as within abandoned structures. Here are the three positively-ID’d bat species I encountered on my trip:
Lesser False Vampire Bat– Large colony of these bizarre but fascinating-looking bats found by Hari in an abandoned building at the park entrance on Day 2
Small-disc Roundleaf Bat– Nice bat species, was observed roosting. As per usual, all the credit for this sighting goes to Hari, the Way Kambas mammal magician. He showed me a roosting individual under one of the culverts along the Upper Jeep Track at midmorning on Day 3 and also on the morning of Day 4.
Forest Short-nosed Fruit Bat– Colony pointed out by Hari underneath the sign at the entrance the Way Kanan Substation on the evening of Day 2.
Conclusion & Final Thoughts:
In conclusion, Way Kambas has to be one of the finest wildlife reserves remaining in Southeast Asia; a region that has suffered untold environmental devastation over the past 50 years. The park harbors a breathtaking array of Sundaic birds & mammals—from Pen-tailed Treeshrew to White-winged Duck–and I feel extremely privileged to have been able to witness many of Way Kambas’ creatures for myself during my short solo expedition.
Sumatra has proven to be yet another incredible Malay Archipelago island with nigh-unparalleled biodiversity. An island whose ecosystems are on the brink of collapse due to despicably high rates of deforestation & development. In fact, virtually no natural lowland forest cover persists outside protected areas of Sumatra. Cassava & rubber plantations stretch all the way along Way Kambas’ borders, meaning there is no buffer area where man and nature can coexist in relative harmony. The lack of buffer around the park’s borders is especially problematic when large mammals like elephants raid crop fields around the park and butt heads with local farmers.
Looking on the bright side, however, I was tremendously happy to see so much of Sumatra’s original biodiversity preserved within Way Kambas National Park. This without a doubt speaks to the efforts of the local national park rangers, who work tirelessly to ensure the security and health of Way Kambas’ ecosystems & wildlife populations.
I will definitely make a point to return to Sumatra as a zoologist to study its diverse animal life and explore more areas of this fantastic island. Thank you for reading as always,
