Overview
Borneo's Untouched Heart
Set beside the Danum River within a 130-square-kilometre conservation area, among some of the oldest rainforest on Earth.
Borneo Rainforest Lodge sits on the banks of the Danum River inside the Danum Valley Conservation Area, one of the world's oldest and most biodiverse tracts of lowland rainforest, largely untouched by logging. River villas and lodge rooms are connected by a network of raised walkways through the forest canopy, home to orangutan, clouded leopard, pygmy elephant and hundreds of bird species. The lodge is reached by charter flight and road, reflecting its position deep within one of Southeast Asia's last great wildernesses.
