Discover the Wonders of Tanjung Puting National Park with Campa Tour: A 4-Day Orangutan Adventure
Tanjung Puting National Park, located in the heart of Central Kalimantan on Borneo, offers one of the most unique and rewarding wildlife experiences in the world. Spanning over 415,000 hectares, this UNESCO Biosphere Reserve is home to diverse wildlife, including one of the largest populations of orangutans, making it a must-visit destination for nature lovers and conservation enthusiasts alike. With Campa Tour, you can embark on an unforgettable journey through the lush rainforests, exploring the orangutan rehabilitation camps and experiencing the natural beauty of this incredible region.
Campa Tour offers an exceptional experience, bringing you closer to Borneo’s wildlife and ecosystems. Expert local guides will accompany you every step of the way, providing insight into the conservation efforts for orangutans and the rainforest’s delicate balance. The highlight of the tour is the klotok experience: staying on a traditional wooden boat as you cruise along the serene rivers of Tanjung Puting. The intimate nature of the journey, combined with the expert guidance, ensures that you will learn about the importance of protecting these endangered creatures and the lush ecosystem they inhabit.
Your adventure begins as you arrive at Pangkalan Bun Airport, where you will be greeted by your Campa Tour guide. After a quick transfer to the Kumai Port, your adventure truly starts as you board the traditional klotok. This iconic wooden boat will serve as your floating home during the journey. As you embark on your klotok tour along the Sekonyer River, the boat glides through the jungle, offering you the chance to spot various wildlife along the banks. Lunch is served on board, allowing you to take in the scenery while enjoying delicious local dishes.
The first stop of the day will be Tanjung Harapan Camp, where you will arrive around 2:40 pm. Here, you’ll witness rehabilitated orangutans being fed, giving you a rare opportunity to observe these incredible primates up close. Your guide will share valuable insights into the rehabilitation process, highlighting the importance of this camp in conserving orangutans. As the afternoon unfolds, you may also catch sight of proboscis monkeys as they roam the treetops near the river. After the exciting visit, you will return to the boat to enjoy a dinner on board while watching the stars come to life above. The gentle motion of the river will lull you into a restful sleep on the upper deck of your klotok, where mattresses and mosquito nets ensure a comfortable night.
Day 2: the day begins with a hearty breakfast on board, followed by another full day of wildlife exploration. You will cruise along the river, keeping an eye out for a variety of tropical animals that inhabit the forested banks. Lunch is again served on board, allowing you to relax and take in the peaceful river views.
In the afternoon, your boat will arrive at the famous Camp Leakey, founded in 1971 by Dr. Birute Galdikas. This research station has been instrumental in the study and conservation of orangutans, and it’s here that you will witness orangutans in their natural habitat during a feeding session at 2:00 pm. The research and conservation efforts at Camp Leakey are unparalleled, and your guide will provide fascinating insights into the decades of work that have gone into protecting the orangutans of Tanjung Puting. As the day transitions into night, you will enjoy dinner on the boat, surrounded by the sounds of the jungle. If you’re feeling adventurous, take part in a night walk along the riverbank to experience the rainforest after dark. The cool night air and the chirping of insects will immerse you in the unique atmosphere of Borneo’s wilderness.
Day 3, after breakfast, the boat will head to Pondok Tanggui Camp, arriving by 9:00 am. This camp, once a rehabilitation site for young orangutans, is now an ecotourism and research center. You’ll have the opportunity to observe orangutans during their morning feeding and learn about the steps taken to return them to the wild. As you explore the camp and the surrounding jungle, your guide will point out various tropical plants, making this an excellent opportunity for those interested in photography.
After lunch on board, the adventure continues as you cruise down the river, looking for more wildlife sightings. As dusk falls, you will embark on a magical experience—searching for fireflies that light up the night sky along the river. This serene moment offers a tranquil contrast to the bustling daytime activities, providing a unique chance to connect with nature in its most peaceful form. After enjoying dinner on the boat, you will return to your sleeping quarters for another peaceful night under the stars, drifting to sleep to the sounds of the rainforest.
On the final day of your adventure, you will enjoy a relaxed breakfast on the boat as you cruise back towards Kumai Port. This is your final opportunity to take in the beautiful sights and sounds of Tanjung Puting, reflecting on the incredible experiences of the past few days. Once you arrive at the port, you will be transferred back to Pangkalan Bun Airport or your hotel, where your journey ends. You will leave Tanjung Puting with unforgettable memories of the incredible wildlife and lush rainforests, along with a deeper understanding of the importance of conservation efforts in the region.
