Discover the Wonders of Tanjung Puting National Park with Campa Tour: A 4-Day Orangutan Adventure
Tanjung Puting National Park, located in Central Kalimantan on Borneo, offers one of the most unique wildlife experiences in the world. Covering over 415,000 hectares, this UNESCO Biosphere Reserve is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including one of the largest populations of orangutans. It’s a must-visit for nature lovers and conservation enthusiasts. Campa Tour offers an unforgettable journey through lush rainforests, orangutan rehabilitation camps, and breathtaking natural beauty.
An Introduction to Campa Tour’s Orangutan Adventure
Campa Tour provides an exceptional experience, allowing you to explore Borneo’s wildlife and ecosystems. Expert local guides will accompany you, sharing insights into the ongoing conservation efforts for orangutans and the delicate balance of the rainforest. The highlight of the tour is the klotok experience—a traditional wooden boat that becomes your floating home during the journey. As you cruise along serene rivers, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the importance of protecting these endangered creatures and their lush habitat.
Day 1: A Scenic Start in Tanjung Puting
Your adventure begins at Pangkalan Bun Airport, where you’ll be greeted by your Campa Tour guide. From there, it’s a quick transfer to Kumai Port, where you’ll board the traditional klotok boat, your home for the journey. As the boat glides along the Sekonyer River, you’ll have the chance to spot wildlife along the riverbanks. Lunch is served on board, allowing you to enjoy delicious local dishes while taking in the surroundings.
Your first stop is the Tanjung Harapan Camp, where you’ll witness rehabilitated orangutans being fed at around 2:40 pm. It’s a rare opportunity to observe these magnificent primates up close. Your guide will share valuable insights into the rehabilitation process and the camp’s role in conserving orangutans. Afterward, keep an eye out for proboscis monkeys, often seen roaming the treetops.
As evening falls, you’ll return to the boat for dinner and enjoy a peaceful night under the stars. Sleep comfortably on the upper deck, where mattresses and mosquito nets ensure a restful night’s sleep.
Day 2: A Day of Discovery and Conservation at Camp Leakey
The second day begins with a hearty breakfast on board, followed by more wildlife exploration. Keep your eyes peeled for a variety of tropical animals as the boat continues down the river. Lunch is again served on board as you take in the calm river views.
In the afternoon, you will reach Camp Leakey, one of the most famous research stations dedicated to orangutan conservation. Founded by Dr. Birute Galdikas in 1971, Camp Leakey has played a pivotal role in studying and protecting orangutans. At 2:00 pm, you’ll witness orangutans in their natural habitat during a feeding session. Your guide will explain the decades of research and conservation efforts that have been dedicated to safeguarding these remarkable primates.
As night falls, enjoy dinner on the boat, surrounded by the sounds of the jungle. If you’re feeling adventurous, consider taking part in a night walk along the riverbank to experience the rainforest after dark. The cool air and the chirping insects will make for a truly unique adventure.
Day 3: Immersing in the Natural Beauty of Pondok Tanggui
After breakfast, the boat will head to Pondok Tanggui Camp, arriving by 9:00 am. This camp, which once served as a rehabilitation site for young orangutans, is now a center for ecotourism and research. You’ll have the opportunity to observe orangutans during their morning feeding and learn about the efforts to reintroduce them to the wild. As you explore the camp, your guide will point out various tropical plants, offering a fantastic opportunity for photography.
After lunch on board, the exploration continues as you cruise along the river in search of more wildlife sightings. As dusk sets in, you’ll embark on a magical experience: firefly watching. The sight of fireflies illuminating the night sky is a tranquil and serene contrast to the daytime activities.
Day 4: A Peaceful End to the Journey
On the final day, you’ll enjoy a relaxed breakfast on the boat as you cruise back toward Kumai Port. This is your last chance to reflect on the incredible sights and sounds of Tanjung Puting. Once you arrive at the port, you will be transferred back to Pangkalan Bun Airport or your hotel, bringing your journey to a close.
