Endemic Primate-watching (3D2N)
Java has 4 endemic primate species that are found nowhere else on earth: Javan gibbon can be seen on the image (Hylobates moloch), Javan surili (Presbytis comata), Javan langur (Trachypithecus mauritius), and the nocturnal Javan slow loris (Nycticebus Javanicus). With a bit of luck, all of these species can be seen in the province of Central Java. This primate-watching tour takes place in 2 different places near the city of Pekalongan, a ~4-hour drive from Yogyakarta. To potentially see all species we need to stay at least 2 nights near the area. (While looking for primates we will most probably see other small wildlife and birds as well).
