🧡 “She looked at me through the trees. Her baby clung tightly to her chest — curious, calm, and completely at peace.”
That’s how most travelers describe their first orangutan encounter in the wild jungles of Tanjung Puting, near Pangkalan Bun, Central Borneo — a moment that stays with you forever.
Here in the heart of Indonesian Borneo, you’ll find one of the strongest bonds in the animal kingdom: an orangutan mommy and her baby.
👩👧 Did you know?
Orangutan mothers raise their babies solo — no babysitters, no breaks. Their little ones stay with them for up to 8 years, learning everything from nest-building to how to pick the ripest forest fruit.
🌳 Every day in the jungle is a survival lesson — and every cuddle is a reminder that love isn’t just human.
But their rainforest home is disappearing fast. And with it, these quiet, sacred connections between mother and child.
That’s why we travel with purpose.
✨ At Kekayon Journeys, we don’t just take you to the jungle — we connect you to stories. To life. To conservation. You’ll explore via slow riverboat (klotok), guided by locals who grew up with the forest, and visit ethical rehabilitation sites like Camp Leakey, where rescued orangutans get a second chance.
