4 Day Maratakka Wildlife Expedition (Suriname)

Let yourself be transported to the hidden natural beauty of the Maratakka River in the district of Nickerie, where a unique multi-day wildlife experience awaits in the middle of pristine rainforest. During this trip you will explore winding riverbanks, listen to the sounds of the jungle when you wake up, and you will have plenty of chances to spot special animals such as blue-and-yellow macaws, giant otters and perhaps even manatees. You will spend the night in a hammock camp right on the water or opt for a bed in a local village, while professional guides accompany you on boat trips, hikes and night discoveries under the stars. This expedition combines active nature exploration with tranquility and pure connection with the Surinamese wilderness.
