Program

Day 1
You will set off early in the morning with your guide, Leon, for the Surinamese jungle. This journey takes you back to the time and way of life of the enslaved people and their survival strategies in the unspoilt rainforest. On the way, you’ll drive past the old Suralco bauxite factory, an indigenous village and savannah. After about an hour and a half, you’ll park the car and walk for about half an hour into the forest in search of a stream. Once you’ve reached a suitable spot by the stream, you’ll rest and recharge your energy with a tasty meal. Then the real adventure begins: together, you’ll build your own camp using a hatchet and materials from the forest. At the same time, you’ll gather wood for cooking. In the late afternoon, you’ll go in search of ingredients for dinner, and in the evening you’ll explore the forest some more in search of wildlife.
Day 2
Early in the morning, you’ll go on a birdwatching walk through the forest, where you can spot toucans, parrots and woodpeckers. After about an hour and a half’s walk, you’ll return to camp for an authentic jungle breakfast. After breakfast, you’ll gather the ingredients for lunch yourself: you’ll pick vegetables from the acai palm and catch fish in the stream. Following these culinary adventures, you’ll travel on to Seliba River Glamping, where you can relax and enjoy greater comfort.
Day 3
In the morning, you’ll set off to spot wildlife at Seliba, where your guide, Leon, often brings his telescope so that you can see even the smallest animals high up in the trees. After this exploration, you can enjoy the luxury of the swimming pool or hop onto a SUP board to explore the river. After lunch, you’ll return to the city.
