About
Quick facts: This center serves as a sanctuary for lost or injured orangutans, with about 30 orangutans freely roaming the surrounding forest. Visitors can watch the interesting feeding sessions, usually held twice a day.
Highlights: Here, wild orangutans come on their own to the feeding area twice daily without any force or cages. The moment they descend from the trees carrying food is a unique spectacle that is hard to find elsewhere.
Insider tips
- Wear light and comfortable clothing as the weather in the forest can be humid and sweaty.
- Prepare a camera with zoom to capture photos of orangutans from a safe distance.
- Arrive earlier to avoid the crowds during the morning feeding session.
- Avoid using flash to not disturb the animals. Don't miss the trekking paths around the center for a more natural experience.
