Pondok Tanggui
A feeding station between two main camps for orangutans. Feeding takes place in the morning, with fewer visitors, so observation is more relaxed.
Pondok Tanggui lies between Tanjung Harapan and Camp Leakey. It was once an orangutan rehabilitation and release site and still has a feeding platform. Feeding typically takes place around 9:00 a.m. the following morning. Compared with Camp Leakey, there are fewer people here. The forest path is muddy but short, a 10–15 minute walk. The animals seen here are mostly released young orangutans and mothers with infants, often seen alongside gibbons and deer. The klotok boat trip usually stops here in the morning and continues to Camp Leakey in the afternoon. In the rainy season the trails are slippery, so wear non-slip shoes and bring insect repellent.
Opening hours
Feeding around 09:00–10:00
