Lodge in the jungle
Less than 20 kilometres outside the city of Lahad Datu, you leave the tarmac. The vegetation is gradually getting denser, more and more often you see old, imposing trees. Eventually lies the road between high galleries of greenery. In two hours, drive to the Danum Valley Conservation Area,in the heart of one of Borneo's most pristine rainforests. Far from the inhabited world, Borneo Rainforest Lodge welcomes you.
In a clearing in the forest is the rustic main house, the chalets and villas are located on the banks of the Segama River or are tucked away on the edge of the forest. In the overwhelming environment where there is no straight line to be seen, this is your exceptionally comfortable home port. From the restaurant and the terraces on the first floor you look out over the river, behind it calls the rainforest. Your adventure in the jungle of the Danum Valley is about to begin.
