What specific wildlife encounters can we anticipate when exploring Taman Nasional Kutai from Hotel Sangatta Prima?

Taman Nasional Kutai is renowned for its wild orangutans, and we often have incredible sightings of these magnificent primates. Beyond them, we've also encountered proboscis monkeys, various hornbill species, and even sun bears if you are particularly lucky and patient.
