Learn about the organisation working to rescue, rehabilitate and release these critically endangered animals at the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation (BOSF).
Appreciate a truly local experience in Tumbang Malahoi village with a stay in a longhouse. Receive a welcoming blessing ceremony and enjoy a night of eating and dancing with local families.

Itinerary
Venture deep into Borneo’s untouched wilderness with the Indonesia Expedition: Orangutans of Kalimantan, a 12-day moderate adventure for wildlife enthusiasts and the eco-minded traveler. This small group tour leads you through dense jungles, traditional longhouses, and eco-lodges, offering a rare chance to observe orangutans in their natural habitat.
Beyond wildlife encounters, you’ll learn about local conservation efforts and immerse yourself in the daily life of indigenous communities. Trekking through Tanjung Puting and Tumbang Malahoi, you’ll experience the harmony between people and nature that makes Kalimantan unique.
The unique selling point of this trip is the opportunity to see orangutans in the wild while supporting sustainable tourism and conservation—a tour package that’s as rewarding for the traveler as it is for the planet.
