Tanjung Harapan Feeding Station

Camp Tanjung Harapan

The first stop on the Sekonyer River klotok trip. The forest feeding platform often draws several orangutans, and there is a small exhibition hall and rainforest trail nearby.

Tanjung Harapan is the first camp where the wooden boat stops after leaving Kumai, a journey of about 2 to 3 hours. It is one of the park's earliest orangutan release sites. After landing, a walk of about 15 minutes brings you to the forest feeding platform. During afternoon feeding, mothers with their young and half-grown orangutans often come, and long-tailed macaques and wild boar can be seen nearby. The camp has a small exhibition hall introducing the park's ecology, and rangers sometimes lead short rainforest walks. The village of Sekonyer lies across the river. This usually forms the first afternoon's itinerary. Afterward the boat continues upriver to find a spot on the bank to spend the night.
