We stayed at Jungle Tribe for 10 days recently and could not recommend this place more highly. Location wise the accommodation sits right at the river's edge. This offers prime viewing of the twice daily Macaque parade down river. Most days we were also privileged enough to see orangutans swinging through the jungle edge right from our balcony!
The bar and restaurant is located right next door and is a welcoming place to spend your days watching the wildlife along the river.
The suite was clean and beautifully decorated and has electricity, fan, towels, western toilet, shower and mosquito netting.
The food was delicious and the menu extensive; we are vegetarian and found eating here very easy and ate something different just about every day. I recommend you try Atie's famous vegetable pizza- you'll feel like you are in Little Italy!
The staff here are excellent. They are very friendly and attentive and genuinely want you to enjoy your stay.
If you want the best chance of seeing wildlife I recommend staying here. It is also a very short walk to the orangutan feeding platform allowing easy access to the daily feeding times.
