Situated on the edge of ‘The Tanjung Puting National Park’, this forest lodge on the Sekonyer River provides a comfortable base for seeing nine different primate species. It is one of the only places in the world where orangutans can be seen in the wild. Observe Orangutans, Proboscis Monkeys, Gibbons, Tarsiers and other primate species in their natural habitat.

 

Rimba Lodge is perched on the edge of the Sekonyer River and surrounded by forest and access is only possible by boat from the Port of Kumai. The timber Lodge is built in a series of adjoining elevated pavilions. Each pavilion contains 3 rooms and has its own covered verandah and boardwalk to the river’s edge. Amethyst, Sapphire and Ruby rooms are adjoining in one large pavilion. The walkways also join the restaurant, reception, lounge and office.

The Lodge is just a few minutes by boat from the orangutan feeding station at Pondok Tangui and mid way upstream to Camp Leakey. A resident troop of macaques are often seen around the Lodge and Proboscis monkeys are also often visible across the river. This is a Lodge that feels truly remote.
