Nestled along the serene banks of the Sekonyer River, on the fringes of the magnificent Tanjung Puting National Park in Borneo, lies the enchanting Rimba Orangutan Ecolodge. This remote haven can only be accessed by traditional Klotok boats, offering a unique and immersive experience in the heart of the Indonesian rainforest. It's a place that feels like a scene from a movie, with exotic covered boardwalks connecting rustic yet comfortable rooms to the restaurant and communal spaces.

Rimba Orangutan Ecolodge is exceptional because of its proximity to one of the last remaining strongholds of wild orangutans on Earth. This eco-lodge is your gateway to an incredible adventure, where you'll have the chance to witness these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat and encounter seven other primate species and a diverse array of birdlife while exploring the lush rainforest surroundings.

Each day at Rimba Ecolodge begins with the harmonious symphony of birdsong, the plaintive calls of Gibbons, and the playful antics of the resident Macaque monkey troop. Orangutans occasionally grace the lodge with their presence, and the haunting calls of males can be heard echoing through the forest. As night falls, a family of Proboscis Monkeys often settles in the trees above the lodge, creating a truly magical atmosphere.

The location of Rimba Ecolodge offers unrivaled access to various Orangutan tours, including visits to feeding stations in the Tanjung Puting National Park. Camp Leakey, one of the world's most renowned Orangutan research sites, is a must-visit. Here, you can witness the incredible work of Orangutan conservation and even catch a glimpse of the alpha male. Additionally, you can explore the rainforest by riverboat or on foot, partake in birding, hiking, and wildlife tours, and immerse yourself in the rich cultural experiences of visiting remote villages.

Touring the rainforest by Klotok boat is a highlight of your stay. These traditional two-story wooden crafts provide a comfortable and stylish means of traveling along the river and through the jungle. Enjoy hearty meals, relax, and admire the wildlife during stops. The Klotok boats can become your floating hotel for extended adventures, with comfortable amenities like inner-sprung mattresses and bathrooms.

Accommodations at Rimba Ecolodge consist of timber lodges set amidst the jungle environment—three room types: Diamond, Emerald, and Amethyst. Offer varying comfort levels with 24/7 electricity from a state-of-the-art solar energy system. The lodge's local staff ensures your stay is clean, comfortable, and in harmony with nature.

Your Rimba adventure can be customized to include a variety of experiences. From full-day tours to Camp Leakey to visits to feeding stations like Pondok Tangui and Tandjung Harapan, every day is an opportunity to encounter wildlife and learn about conservation efforts. You can also add magical moments like a dinner cruise with fireflies or specialty birding tours led by expert guides.

For a deeper understanding of the local culture and conservation challenges, consider adding a visit to Harapan Village to your itinerary. Here, you'll witness the impact of the palm oil industry and gain insight into the ongoing mission to protect orangutans and their habitat.

Throughout your stay, you'll savor delicious local cuisine prepared by the lodge's chefs. Special dietary needs are accommodated, ensuring your culinary experience is as delightful as the natural wonders you encounter.

A journey to Rimba Orangutan Ecolodge is more than a vacation; it's an immersion into the heart of Borneo's lush rainforest, a chance to witness the incredible beauty of wildlife and a commitment to conservation.
