✨ “Sleep under the stars… Wake up in the rainforest.”

✨ “Meet the gentle giants of the wild.”

Benny’s Royal Tours proudly invites you on an extraordinary adventure into one of the world’s last great wildernesses—Borneo, famously known as the Amazon of Asia. This once-in-a-lifetime expedition blends cultural discovery, breathtaking rainforest landscapes, and rare wildlife encounters, taking you deep into the natural heart of Indonesia, where ancient jungles and winding rivers shelter the legendary orangutans in their wild home.

Your journey begins seamlessly from India when we arrive at Jakarta, the vibrant capital of Indonesia, often referred to as the Pearl of the Orient. Here, guests are welcomed with warm Indonesian hospitality, a flavorful introduction to local cuisine, and a guided city tour showcasing Jakarta’s historic landmarks and cultural treasures. The adventure then shifts eastward to Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo, a land of primeval rainforests over 130 million years old. From Pangkalan Bun, the expedition continues by traditional wooden luxury boats—klotoks—along the legendary Sekonyer River, the lifeline of Tanjung Puting National Park, one of the world’s most important orangutan conservation areas.

Often compared to the Amazon River for its scale, biodiversity, and ecological importance, the Sekonyer River winds through dense tropical jungle alive with extraordinary wildlife. Along its banks, travelers may encounter wild orangutans, proboscis monkeys, gibbons, hornbills, long-tailed macaques, and other rare species that call this pristine ecosystem home. Days are filled with immersive river cruising, orangutan feeding visits, and guided explorations, while evenings bring magical moments as the rainforest transforms under the cover of night. A highlight of the expedition is the night trekking experience at Tanjung Harapan Camp, where the jungle reveals its nocturnal secrets—echoing calls, glowing eyes, and the rhythmic pulse of life in the darkness. Guests retire each night aboard their tranquil houseboat, gently rocked by the river and surrounded by the timeless sounds of the rainforest.

Benny’s Expedition to the Land of the Orangutans is more than a tour—it is a journey into nature’s masterpiece, a celebration of wildlife conservation, and an unforgettable encounter with one of Earth’s most precious ecosystems. Step into the Amazon of Asia and experience Borneo in its purest, most awe-inspiring form.
