Borneo Orang Utan - Orangutanes Indonesia Wildlife Trip.

Thank You for a dream comes true time in Tanjung Puting National Park. We could not have asked for a more magical time cruising on the boat with Dedy,Uji,Halim, and totally loving Rubiyatis delicious meals. Dedy was amazing how he interacted with the wild life and others tourists were impressed with his knowledge also. He could communicate with the orangutanes on our Borneo trip by name and sounds. To be able to sit with 10 orangutans at once have them come up dose to us was exciting. Uji and Halim were expert capitains and fun loving pirates. Gilang did an expert job organizing our trip so smoothly. Every connection was flawless and he took care of our every need. The final night on the boat was one of our favorite 4th of Julys (American Independent Day) we were swept away for a delicious candle light dinner under the stars, and our fireworks were enchanting fire flies. Wow! We totally loved every second on our orangutan adventure. Thank you for making us all smile and giving us such wonderful memories!

The Orangutan trip feedback periods 6th - 9th of May 2011.

This whole experience has been one of the most unique and eye opening trips I have ever been involved in. The planning of the trip was so organized and smooth.

Visiting all the wonderful places along the way has been amazing seeing the culture and the way the locals live was an insight to this incredible country.

The whole experience of spending time with Orangutans in the jungle, just felt like a honour and something that i will treasure and remember for the rest of my life. Thanks for putting this great opportunity together.

The crew that worked on the boat were superb!! they were hard working, accommodating and so very friendly and happy. Nothing seemed too much trouble for these guys. The food was delicious and iam so impressed at what they can cook with the facilities that they have on the boat. What a beautiful group of men hope to see them again.

To our local guides, Edy and Danny, what can i say? not enough words to describe my thanks. Appreciation for these two men. They were knowledgeable, friendly, approachable, funny and so kind. This trip wouldn't of been the some without them Nothing seemed too much for them. I could ask them about anything or for anything and they would answer or helped out straight away! I will remember them always and hope to see them again one day!

Gilang was so helpful and organized. when the pressure was on with delayed flights, he was on to it straight away and organized the 2nd flights to wait! Gilang is very knowledgeable and helpful and we couldn't have done it without him, Gilang is an top bloke!! Very professional. NS

Trip Tetimony

The last 4 days has been the best experience of my life, and was made even better by everyone on board Mama one (1). We were made to feel so special and the service we got was 5 out of 5.

Our guide Eddie has been fantastic - so full of knowledge and always making sure we are happy. He effortlessly engaged in conversation with us and answered all of our questions. Throughout our journey we were never hungry, and the food we were served would rival any 5 star restaurant in Melbourne!

The crew on the boat always ensured we were comfortable, and made sure everything was done for us.

To Eddie, Gilang and Mama one(1) crew, I would like to thank you so VERY much for taking us on one of the most amazing journeys of my life. I will never forget it and the people that took us on it. You don't need to improve on any thing. It was perfect.

Terima Kasih, PS: a big Thank you to Eddie + Gilang for all that you did for keeping us entertained - and teaching us so much. Christ Tunks.

Orangutan Borneo Trip
The Orangutanes Indonesia is a great ape with long arms and reddish brown fur. Orangutanes are presently found only in rainforests on Borneo and Sumatra, though they were once widely distributed in southeast Asia (as far as southern China). Today orangutans are highly endangered in the wild due to habitat loss (the destruction of rainforests for logging and agriculture) and the illegal trapping of baby orangutans for the pet trade. WWF estimates there were around 55,000 Bornean orangutans in 2004, but the number has since dropped largely as a result of widespread forest fires and increased clearing for oil palm plantations. In August 2006, the Wildlife Conservation Society-Indonesia Program said that Indonesia's population of orangutans stands at 20,000, down from 35,000 in 1996. Due to its slow rate of reproduction, environmental groups have warned that red ape could go extinct in the wild without urgent conservation measures. Genetic analysis has recently concluded that there are three subspecies of orangutan in Borneo: Pongo pygmaeus morio, the Northeastern Borneo orang-utan, Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii, the Central Borneo orang-utan and Pongo pygmaeus, the Northwest Borneo orang-utan.

Proboscis monkey
The proboscis monkey lives only in the swampy lowland rainforests of coastal areas of Borneo Indonesia and the Mentawai Islands. These large monkeys are best known for the male's large protruding nose. Proboscis monkeys are social animals, living in groups of 10 to 32 individuals led by a single dominant male. The proboscis monkey is highly endangered -- less than 7000 are thought to exist in the wild.
