I originally thought it would be a great experience to spend time being able to assist in the rehabilitation of the orangutans on Borneo Island. As I did my planning and research, I found that spending two weeks doing this would cost me a great deal of money. But I still wanted to be able to see the orangutans and observe them in their natural habitat.
I did more research and found that one could hire a klotok that travels slowly up and down the river. This gives one the ability to sight and then watch the orangutans in their own habitat from the river as well as visit the ones who are still being rehab-ed at Camp Leahy. This sanctuary was the first to start the rehabilitation of the orangutans and sound the alarm as these primates slowly started to lose their world to loggers clearing their habitat.
My journey to Borneo will start in a little over 24 hours. I’ll try to post as much as I can as Candice, my BFF, and I travel to Borneo and then on to Bali.
Have a fabulous trip Betsy! I look forward to your photos and I’m glad you are still workin your list.
