You will also watch the ex-captive orangutans re-introduced to their natural habitat. Many of the orangutans which have already successfully rehabilitated still come to the formerly rehabilitation center at Camp Leakey station to visit the rangers and to interact with the new coming orangutans. Some times we can also encounter with the wild orangutans during easy trekking around the Camp Leakey which is also a research center area. In the afternoon, the boat will boating slowly on the quite river where you can take pictures of the other endemic monkeys of Kalimantan: Proboscis "pinnochio" Monkeys (nasalis larvatus), birds and other wildlife playing in the trees before they overnight along the riverside.
