Seven of us travelling together spent four days at Tanjung Puting National park from 01st August 2019. We were on a houseboat during this period. When we arrived at Pangkalan Iskandar Airport, our guide Arbain met us there and brought us to the jetty in Kumai to board the houseboat Klotok Al-Fatah 66. It was an open boat. Folding canvas on the sides could be closed if there is rain. The crew consisted of the Captain and four others. The meals provided on board were similar and basic but tasty. There were many similar houseboats with tourists. Our guide explained that Proboscis monkeys are found only in Borneo and that he would take us to various parts of the rain forest park famed for Orangutans and other wildlife. During our tour of the park along Sekonyer River, Arbain, our guide took us to various places of interest listed below: * Pondok Tunggui Orangutan feeding centre. Enjoyed the bulky orangutans, with their long strong arms and bowed legs, coming in from the canopy of high trees swaying amongst trees and creepers. * Camp Leakey - Saw a gibbon and a large troop of Orangutans, feeding and playing. * While moving on the Sekonyer river, flowing through the rain forested park, we saw many Proboscis monkeys, long tailed macaque on the trees, many birds and a few Orangutans feeding on tender reeds by the river. * Tanjung Harapan Camp - This was another feeding centre for Orangutans where we saw many mums and babies. The highlight of the tour was to see and enjoy the endangered Orangutans, endemic to the region. It was an exhilarating experience to see them in their habitat and to be surrounded by natures beauty and bounty. I greatly appreciate the efforts made by the authorities and the three feeding centres to sustain the orangutans as well as making it possible for us, the visitors, to see them in their natural habitat.

This park has more of a rehabilitation feel too it. More canals and rehab locations than I expected. But it has Orangutans and beautiful views. Easier to get to than Tanjung Puting.
