OVERVIEW
Borneo is the world's third largest island and
home to some of the most unique eco-systems and creatures on the planet.
Our Save the Orangutan Expedition will take you to the Tanjung Puting National Park, which is found in central Kalimantan. We travel from the port city of Pangkalabun, to the riverside town of Kumai. Here we will travel up river into the park and into dense jungle, home of the Orangutan.
Tanjung Puting National Park is a unique place in itself. It is not only home
to the Orangutan, but also the rare Proboscis monkey (which we see plenty of)
and the false gavial crocodile.
The park houses two different
organizations that are trying to protect both the eco-system of the area and the
Orangutan themselves. These groups are the Orangutan Foundation International
(OFI) and Friends of the National Park Foundation (FNPF). We will visit their
camps and take a look at the work they are doing. Funds from this expedition are
donated to both organizations.
Your home for 2 days will be our river
boat or klotok (1 extra night will be at the Rimba Lodge). The klotok is
equipped with a shower and sit down toilet and at night you will sleep on deck
on comfortable mattresses. Our captain and crew will cook up delicious meals for
breakfast, lunch and dinner.
While we are not walking through the
Kalimantan jungle or visiting orphanages, we can relax on deck watching the wild
life, read a book or just laze the day away.
The Save the Orangutan
Expedition can be a life altering experience. The sheer size and gentle nature
of the Orangutan will leave many with not only fond memories but a real desire
to help one of our closest relatives.
This is a great family expedition with children of 6 years and older. For them to see the wild Orangutans will be an amazing experience.
