We have just discovered something that we thought we would not do, but now we have found it, consider it a trip of a life time, above and beyond anything we have seen so far. It is an amazing trip to Indonesian Borneo to visit an Orang-utan Conservation Centre.
The trip includes flights, a private boat, English guide, cook, captain, etc. and takes you deep into the jungle for 3 days. At night, you sleep under the stars on the top deck of the boat with no one else around apart from gibbons and orang-utans.
To those in Bristol, those in London and those somewhere in-between, we promise you signed photos of the orang-utans. We can’t promise these will be signed in ink.
To lovely family members, the same applies as above, but we will also send you all the photos of our adventure.
If any of you want to make a donation to the sanctuary, let us know and we will pass on the money.

Hey Pez,
Where abouts you hoping to go to? I did the project via the Orangutan Foundation where they are based out of Camp Leakey in Central Kalimantan (bottom of Borneo):

If its here, (and if it isn’t where you were planning on going, it should be!) Then I can probably help you out loads with where to stay etc which may make it cheaper..Staying in Indo is pennies and I’m still in facebook contact with some people that live over there. Send me an eeeemail, and lets converse all things Orangutan.
