All you need to know about the best time to see orangutans...
The fruit-loving orangutan lives mainly in lowland swamp forests and dipterocarp forests, where there is higher tree diversity and therefore a variation of times that different fruit is in abundance. With 61% of an orangutan's diet being frugivorous, the fruiting season in Borneo is a very exciting and active time in the jungle. As soon as the rains start to cease, around April and May, the hungry apes can be seen swinging from branch to branch in search of plump ripe fruit, as well as for potential mates.
This is also a good time for Borneo holidays if you want to see the new born baby orangutans starting to emerge, as they make their way out into the creeping boscage for the first time now it’s not so wet!
