Sebangau is world-renowned as a critical habitat for the endangered Bornean orangutan, with an estimated 6,000 individuals living in the wild here. The park is also home to proboscis monkeys, hornbills, clouded leopards, sun bears, and countless bird and plant species.
What makes Sebangau unique is its blackwater rivers, where dark, tea-colored waters wind through dense jungle, creating a mysterious and beautiful landscape. Unlike more crowded destinations, Sebangau offers a quiet, off-the-beaten-path adventure, making it ideal for travelers seeking authentic eco-tourism experiences in Borneo.
Visitors can explore Sebangau through boat trips, jungle trekking, birdwatching, and community-based tours, staying in simple guesthouses or forest camps managed by local Dayak communities. Every journey into Sebangau supports both wildlife conservation and local livelihoods, making it one of the most sustainable ways to experience the wild heart of Kalimantan.
