PANGKALAMBUN – KUMAI PORT – TANJUNG HARAPAN.
Upon arrival at the airport your guide will be waiting for you after meeting service ,you will be transfered to Kumai about 20 minutes drive by car .we will arrive at our traditional wooden boat called KLOTOK , on board will be about 11 am or coul be earlier if the boat preparation quick complete. And the cruise begin on the Sekonyer river .if our flight arrive earlier before 12 pm , we can be at the first feeding time that is scheduled at 3 pm.
Tanjung Harapan
The literal meaning of ‘Tanjung Harapan’ is ‘Cape of Hope’. This first camp has more wetlands and therefore has more mosquitos in the afternoon, so make sure you put on enough mosquito repellent. After visiting this rangers camp, you will continue your journey upriver- resting on the boat while we look for animals in the nearness of the Sekonyer River.
In the afternoon it is very common to see groups of proboscis monkeys and macaques in the treetops, jumping from one tree branch to another, or to even see crocodiles or lizards in the shallow waters on the sides of the river. Prepare for the sunset and enjoy the exquisite food prepared by our jungle crew. The boat is moored on the side of the river to spend the night.
Tonight, we can take a walk through the jungle to look for nocturnal animals such as snakes, tarantulas or even if we are lucky, we can find luminescent mushrooms or tarsier monkeys.
PONDOK TANGGUI – LEAKY CAMP
Camp Tanggui
After an extraordinary breakfast on board, we will arrive on time to visit the Camp Tanggui at the feeding time for animals (9 AM). Little by little, you will see how the treetops begin to move and then you will see the silhouettes of the orangutans gradually reaching the feeding platform.
Tanggui was a release camp for young orangutans that we rehabilitated- preventing the orangutans from moving away due to a lack of food and ending up outside the National Park, with the following risks of falling into traps of settlers or palm oil plantation fields. After the orangutans begin to leave, you will return to the klotok to continue further upstream.
You will witness how the colour of the river changes and you will have the opportunity to see crocodiles and large monitor lizards, along with Gibbons and proboscis monkeys. Of course, you will enjoy your lunch in this lovely setting.
Camp Leakey
You will arrive at Camp Leakey, the old orangutan rehabilitation centre. It was founded in 1971, when a student at UCLA University in Los Angeles, called Birutte Galdikas, began studying the orangutans there. The name Camp Leakey comes from Birutte’s own professor, paleoanthropologist Louis Leakey. At least 200 orangutans have already been cured and returned to the jungle thanks to this centre.
However, since 1995 the Indonesian government has banned the introduction of more orangutans in this camp, so the orangutans are increasingly adapting to freedom.
Today, this camp is used for behavioural and feeding research for orangutans.
Little Jungle Trekking
After finishing the observing of orangutans in this camp, we will do a gentle trekking through the jungle back to the boat to search for free orangutans and other animals, if the weather conditions permit. We will have the opportunity to learn a lot about the jungle from our local guides, of whom some of them were born in the jungle. They’ll explain how to look for animals or plants, and you can listen to their experience of life in the jungle.
The jungles of Borneo, that have given life and shelter to its inhabitants for millions of years, are jungles that under the watch of their ancestors, are still capable of fulfilling every single individual’s needs. Food, water, medicines, etc… But never throw anything in your mouth without your guide’s recommendation. In the afternoon, if it does not rain, the boat will be docked near a congregation of fireflies and you can enjoy the show of its luminescence.
SUGAI BULUH – KUMAI.
Today is the last day of your stay at the Klotok. At 5.00 in the morning you will be picked up at the Klotok, and we will sail for approximately 1 hour and a half, leaving the open sea and entering Buluh Kecil River.
Sunrise on the River
During the journey upstream that you have started in complete darkness, you will see how the night gives way to a unique sunrise in the jungle of Borneo. Once we enter the river, our search for the great variety of birds that inhabit this river and the rest of the animals begins with the help of the technical files that your guide will take with you.
we can visit the house of the rangers who live permanently there to protect the area and have a tea or coffee with them, while listening to the morning sounds of the jungle. An unforgettable place. Again, in boats, we go down the river to take you to the port and you can rest in the hotel. Your guide will have already ordered your bags.
Then we will visit the Arut river to see the life of the locals around it, a place where they also make wooden boats like Klotoks Boats and you will also visit the Mendawai village. Afternoon free, to visit the town on your own.
