During this tour, you can expect quite the variation in the types of flora and fauna, such as small palm trees and meter-tall trees filled with orchids, but also various animals like colorful birds, snakes, monkeys, frogs and pigs. The greatest treasures of the Brown Mountain are the different natural waterfalls on the mountain, where you can take a shower. The route from Paramaribo to Brownsberg is approximately 110 kilometers. During the trip we pass through various local villages, where mostly Maroons live. The road to the top of Brownsberg will be climbed with a pickup or van. Once we once arrive at the top, we wait for a beautiful view over the lake. In the evening you will be able to enjoy a boat ride, swim, or fish for toekoenari (bass species) and piranhas . If you want to do something a  little quieter, you can relax in the hammock. This tour is highly-recommended for nature lovers.

Inclusions: Beverages, Bottled water, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Driver/guide, Live commentary on board, Transport by air-conditioned minivan, Snacks, Coffee and/or Tea

Exclusions: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase)

We took a taxi($3) 3.5 km north from our Downtown Oasis Guesthouse to the Saoena Zondagmarkt. This large Indonesian Market is 150 m from the 'Sanya Budaya' Cultural Center where the tall 1990 Javanese Immigration Monument celebrates 100 years since the 33,000 contract workers came from Java in 1890. This weekly gathering is a festival for the descendants, a flea market, has produce, ready to eat food, music, a bit of everything. Family friendly and enjoyable.

We booked a tour to Bigi Pan (Stephanie's Lodge) and small SUV rental via Orange Travel. Communication was quick and accurate. Payment can be made to a Dutch bank account which is handy for Dutch travellers and avoids money transfer fees. The car rental was executed by Dcars in the Frederik Derbystraat. We found this out fairly late and it was a bit far from our hotel, in hindsight it would have been better to know this earlier. Orange Travel obsessed a lot about the car return on early Sunday morning when we were coming from Groningen - we would have to do this at an hotel with a 24x7 reception. In practice however Dcars allowed us to park the car at their premises and drop the key in a box. Knowing this in advance would have saved us a small concern. Otherwise, the trip to Bigi Pan went as expected (fabulous) and the small SUV we rented, a Pajero, was very old but in quite good shape and served us well. Overall we can recommend Orange Travel.
