Tanjung Puting National Park

Tanjung Puting National Park is the premier destination for orangutan rehabilitation, hosting over 6,000 wild orangutans within its 415,000-hectare peat swamp forest. The park’s famous klotok houseboat cruises allow visitors to traverse blackwater rivers for up to four days, a unique experience that is 50% cheaper than comparable river safaris in other regions. Camp Leakey, its research center, has released 100+ rehabilitated orangutans since 1971, and the park’s proboscis monkey population counts 3,000+ individuals—double the density found in #3’s neighboring reserves. Daily feeding platforms attract up to 20 orangutans per session, offering sightings that are 30% more reliable than those at Gunung Leuser due to the park’s dedicated conservation programs.
