3 DAYS/2 NIGHTS THE BORNEAN ORANGUTAN AND WILDLIFE TOUR
RIMBA ORANGUTAN ECOLODGE
Rimba Orangutan Ecolodge is perched over the gently flowing Sekonyer River on the edge of the Tanjung Puting National Park. It is remote - only accessible by traditional “Klotok” boat or speed boat.
Rimba is truly special, located in one of the few remaining places on earth where Orangutans can be seen in the wild. On a visit here, you may encounter seven other primate species, a rich bird life and explore the lush surrounding rainforest.
Pangkalan Bun airport – Central Borneo is the nearest airport to reach us. There are daily direct flight from Jakarta to Pangkalan Bun or Semarang, and you could fly from Bali (via Surabaya/Java).
We offer a private tour with a private guide. Our itinerary is flexible and can be modified to meet your interest. You could also combine your experience with sleep at Rimba and sleep on the boat without any additional charge.
3 DAYS/2 NIGHTS THE BORNEAN ORANGUTAN AND WILDLIFE TOUR
Rimba Orangutan Ecolodge
3 days - 2 nights
Day 1 Arrival at Pangkalan Bun and Harapan Camp (L/D)
Welcome to Borneo!!
Arrive at the Pangkalan Bun Airport, and transfer for 30 minutes by car to get Kumai river port and to board to the river boat (klotok). It takes 1.5 hours to arrive at The Rimba eco Lodge for a welcome Lunch. Later visit to The Tanjung Harapan feeding station at the park headquarters only 10 minutes by klotok/local traditional boat from the lodge, and walk the trail to get for the feeding at 1500. Here also there is a large Alpha male. Dinner and overnight at the Rimba Lodge.
*This half day tour suits those arriving before midday at Pangkalan Bun – if your flight arrival late in the afternoon, we could use a speed boat to catch feeding time at The Harapan Camp.
Day 2 The Orangutans of Tangguy and The Camp Leakey ! (B/L/D)
An early start with breakfast and leave for the feeding station of Pondok Tanggui, one hour upstream for morning feeding time. Look for Giant Squirrels, pig, and many butterflies on the walk in. Here as at all the feeding there is a large Alpha male. After viewing the Orangutans, you can walk around the area.
Back on the boat, and continue to visit to the famous Camp Leakey (possibly the most famous place for Orangutan Research in the world) having lunch on the way. A short visit to The Education Centre there is a must; also you may see Agile Gibbons and pigs in the camp. You then proceed to the Feeding Centre. Your guide will carry water but you should take no food.
You should eat no food or drink water near an Orangutan. Humans transmit diseases to Orangutans; thus please do not initiate contact (for their sakes). Occasionally an Orangutan may take you by the hand – relax and enjoy it. Camp Leakey feeding is funded by donations to The Orangutan Foundation International USA (Professor Dr Birute Galdikas). Then you walk back to the boat for a great trip home in the evening through many roosting Proboscis Monkeys including visit the Tanjung Harapan Village. Dinner and overnight at Rimba Lodge.
A night walk is also available on this day.
Day 3 Depart to Kumai and transfer to the Pangkalan Bun’s airport (B)
Enjoy breakfast at Rimba lodge before boarding our “klotok”. Take a leisurely boat ride before returning to Pangkalan Bun airport through the port city of Kumai. Revive all your senses and let them retain the magic of Tanjung Puting National Park. Listen to the sounds of Kumai all day loudspeakers emanating from tall buildings where swift nests are being commercially harvested.
