In april 2014 we were on this tour with Jackie to Tanjung Puting National Park (Kalimantan). I will never forget these tour! It's a lifetime experience! I learned a lot about photography and how to use the different technical possibilities of my camera! And we had interesting discussions and got lots of information about the orangutans and their endangered life in the rainforest. This combination and the familiar atmosphere made this tour so special!
I really can recommend this trip to everyone who wants to learn something about photography and to do this in a fascinating environment with these amazing orangutans. It doesn't matter if you are beginner or expert - Jackie teaches very individually! And Mara from Orangutan Aid Hong Kong who were also with us told us a lot about orangutans!
Through the days we went with a klotok down the river to visit feeding stations - for example at Camp Leakey. We were very lucky to see a lot of orangutans during our tour. So we had many chances to take photos. And not only from the orangutans there were also a lot proboscis monkeys along the river and other animals like crocs. There was also time to relax while we went with the klotok down the river. And we visited a village. At the end of our trip we went on a market in pangkalan buun and learned more about taking portraits.

My personal conclusion is: we all have to take care about the rainforest and that the rainforest will be still there in future for the orangutans and the other animals! Otherwise we will miss them!!! Orangutans are amazing! And I am glad that I had the chance to go to Borneo to meet them!
