What do you love most about Bali?

"Of course, Bali is a very popular destination and sometimes it's packed with (too many) tourists, but it's touristy for a reason. It's such a beautiful island with so many picture-perfect places!"

A 'MUST' whilst you're there?

"My favourite activity in Bali was climbing Mount Batur in the middle of the night to watch the sunrise on top of the volcano. We were even lucky enough to see Mount Rinjani on Lombok in the distance! "

Must pack items for Bali

"Don't forget to bring warmer clothes! Especially in Northern Bali, it can get colder and you will need a jacket for sure! This photo was taken on top of a mountain and trust me, it was pretty cold..."

Bonus...

"Combine your Bali trip with a few days on Nusa Penida. Every photographer wants to take a photo of the T-rex-shaped cliff but... watch out when flying your drone. The signal is very sketchy!"

A 'MUST' whilst you're there?

"Of course the main attraction is seeing wild orangutans, but there is a wealth of incredible wildlife to spot while trekking."

What do you love most about Bukit Lawang?

"This is an easy one to answer. Of course it's seeing orangutans in the wild, it is such a magical experience."

@matthewlockphotography's Top Tips

"Do your research and find a reliable company before booking. This makes sure some of your money will go to the conservation of the Gunung Leuser National Park."

Benefits of a tour guide for Bukit Lawang

"You can't enter the park without a tour guide so you have to book a tour. Keep in mind that under no circumstances should you feed any animals during your visit."
