Discover the Life of Orangutans in Tanjung Puting: The Wild Heart of Borneo
Tanjung Puting National Park in Central Kalimantan is one of the most incredible places on Earth to witness wild orangutans in their natural rainforest habitat. Spanning over 400,000 hectares, this national park is home to diverse tropical wildlife — and serves as a critical sanctuary for the endangered Bornean orangutan.
One of the most meaningful experiences during your visit is observing orangutans at feeding stations, such as Tanjung Harapan, Pondok Tanggui, and the world-famous Camp Leakey.
Founded by leading primatologist Dr. Biruté Galdikas, Camp Leakey has been the heart of orangutan rehabilitation and research since the early 1970s. Here, rescued or orphaned orangutans are given the care and training they need to survive independently in the wild.
Seeing these intelligent creatures swing through the trees, cradle their young, or gaze curiously at visitors is deeply moving. Their expressions, behaviors, and emotional depth show just how closely connected they are to humans.
But despite decades of conservation, orangutans continue to face threats — from habitat loss to illegal wildlife trade. Every visit to Tanjung Puting helps raise awareness and supports the preservation of this precious ecosystem.
