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.

Our group of seven travelling with "Cinnamon Nature Trails" visited Camp Leakey Feeding Centre - also called Camp 3 - at Tanjung Puting National Park in the afternoon on 2nd September 2019. Our houseboat dropped us at the Camp Leakey jetty on Sekonyer River. The 2 km walk to the feeding centre was along a path, with the initial low-lying 500 metres or so on a wooden platform. It was an enjoyable walk through the rainforest. At the feeding centre, there were a few benches that served as seats for the visitors. The feeding platform, about 10 metres in length was well separated from the viewing area. The billboard prominently mounted displayed the feeding time to be between 1400 to 1600. A Gibbon monkey arrived on the tree canopy above, as we quietly sat on the benches. It moved from tree to tree, not jumping, but swaying with its hands and legs. Its nimble movements were fascinating. It was sitting atop trees in anticipation of the food that would soon arrive. At about 1415, attendants distributed bananas on top of the feeding platform along with some milk. The gibbon descended quickly along a nearby creeper, drank some milk, collected a few choice plantains and climbed back on to its vantage point on top of the tree. It was obvious that he wanted to be away when the Orangutans arrive! The attendants made loud calls, apparently to inform the orangutans that their meal was ready. Orangutans however were not in a hurry. It took some time before they arrived on the scene. All of them did not come at once, but arrived, mostly one by one, from all directions through the tree canopy of the rain forest. As they arrived, we enjoyed seeing them on treetops, hanging on to branches, swaying between trees and creepers. Unlike monkeys, Orangutans don’t jump, they move by swinging on their arms and legs. Quite large and bulky, with a thick neck, they have long strong arms and bowed legs with no tail! There were youngsters and mothers with babies clinging on to them. A young playful orangutan couple, after they fed themselves, entertained the crowd with their courting antics. When the dominant Male arrived, ones that had their bellies full, moved away. As we were getting ready to leave, a herd of bush pigs arrived and consumed the banana peels left on the ground. I enjoyed the afternoon immensely, watching both the gibbon and the orangutans, their elegant movements and their play as well as the motherly care for the babies. Although not listed in Tripadvisor, there are two other feeding centres along Sekonyer River – 1 Pondok Tanggui also called Camp 2 (feeding time 0900 to 1000) and 2. Tanjung Harappan also called Camp 1 (feeding time 1500 to 1700). It was very satisfying to see the immense care bestowed on these animals at all three feeding centres for their continued sustainability.
