Accompanied by your guide and a local park ranger, you will disembark the boat and hike along small tracks deep into the jungle where the feeding area is located. There will be plenty of time to witness these wonderful apes from close quarters before returning to the dock to continue your expedition.

Afterwards, stream to the Sekonyer River and travel along a tributary known locally as ‘Crocodile River’ which, as the name suggests, is home to a number of these aquatic reptiles. Enjoying yet more superb scenery and a fresh lunch prepared by the crew en route, you will arrive at Camp Leakey in approximately 2 to 3 hours.

Established in 1971, Camp Leakey is a renowned orangutan research and rehabilitation centre located in the heart of Tanjung Putting National Park. Founded originally as just a research centre, over the years the camp has expanded and now also focuses on conservation and rehabilitation as well as continuing to carry out important research about these fascinating primates.

Take some time to explore the centre and meet some of the local rangers as well as witness the daily afternoon feeding. Should you desire, there is the option to take a short trek into the jungle surrounding the camp prior to heading back to your boat for overnight.
