INTRODUCTION
Nestled in the heart of Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, Tanjung Puting National Park is a paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers.
The park’s biggest attraction is its orangutans, one of our closest relatives in the animal kingdom. Camp Leakey and other feeding stations, such as Pondok Tanggui and Tanjung Harapan, allow visitors to observe these fascinating primates up close. Travelers can contribute to conservation efforts by choosing responsible tour operators that support the park’s initiatives.
Beyond orangutans, Tanjung Puting is home to unique species like proboscis monkeys, known for their distinctive large noses, and agile gibbons that swing effortlessly through the trees. Birdwatchers will be delighted by sightings of hornbills, kingfishers, and eagles.
The dry season (June to September) is the best time to visit, as wildlife is more active and river conditions are optimal. However, visiting during the wet season can be rewarding for those who prefer a quieter, more immersive jungle experience.
