    Provider checklist — Indonesia

    Last updated:

    Ask these questions in writing before you book. A reputable provider will answer them clearly. Evasion or vague responses are a red flag.

    • Does the wildlife / sanctuary program allow ANY tourist contact with animals?
    • Is the partner organisation registered with the relevant Indonesian ministry (Sosial / Kemenkumham)?
    • Are placements at residential children's homes?
    • What's the visa basis — Social-Cultural visa or other?
