Many of past clients call this is a “magical trip”. We will take you to meet one of the human’s closest living relatives in animal kingdoms: Orangutan (pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus sp.) living free at their natural home at Camp Leakey, Tanjung Harapan and Pondok Tanguy stations inside the misty rain forest surrounded by proboscis monkeys, macaques, gibbons, birds including the giant hornbills and other exotic flora and fauna. You will explore the quit river on a traditional boat ( “African Queen” river boat style) and having some short walk around the stations.
Interaction with Borneo Orangutan
For your information in Tanjung Puting National Park there is two different type of orangutan, first is orangutan who originally inhabitant in this park and we called it wild orangutan and second is the rehabilitant orangutan or ex-captive orangutan formerly confiscated and rescue from the people who keep them as a pet. For the wild orangutan it is difficult to play or interact with them due to they are shy animal and always keep the distance with human. For example if you put some fruits on the ground they will never take it till you go away or disappear from their sight. While with the ex-captive or rehabilitant orangutan you have a chance to play or interact with them. more adventure of wildlife can see at http://www.adventureindonesia.com

Their hair is typically reddish-brown, instead of the brown or black hair typical of other great apes. Continue reading →
Bird watching trips are always exciting but some times its hard to find the good spots unless your are familiar with the area. We recommend taking the time and money to invest in a bird watching guide for part of the trip.
Usually birding guides will almost guarantee an exciting outing. Most bird guides we have found offer reasonable prices and a couple just ask for lunch and they’ll be happy to show you the exciting areas in their area. Plus it’s always nice to meet fellow birders away from home.
