Each day features guided 4x4 safari drives and rainforest treks, giving you opportunities to encounter some of Borneo’s most iconic species, from orangutans and hornbills to pygmy elephants and flying squirrels. With a wildlife corridor connecting INFAPRO and DVFC, this area offers increased chances to spot rare and nocturnal species, especially during night walks and drives. End your expedition with a breathtaking sunrise at Bukit Atur, where mist rolls over the ancient rainforest canopy. With fewer crowds, full access to DVFC’s biodiversity, and the chance to support active forest restoration, this 5-day experience offers a deeper, more meaningful connection to one of Southeast Asia’s last great rainforests.
INFAPRO Reforestation Site
INFAPRO (INnoprise-Face PROject) is a pioneering reforestation initiative launched in the early 1990s to rehabilitate previously logged areas within the Ulu Segama Forest Reserve. It now serves both as a restoration hub and a visitor-friendly eco-base, offering comfortable accommodations with 24-hour electricity and easy access to the Danum Valley rainforest. By staying at INFAPRO, travellers directly support long-term forest regeneration while enjoying a peaceful, less-crowded alternative to other Danum lodgings.
Danum Valley Field Centre (DVFC)
The Danum Valley Field Centre is a renowned research and conservation facility situated at the fringe of the Danum Valley Conservation Area. Built to support scientific study, DVFC also welcomes eco-tourists eager to explore Borneo’s dense rainforest through guided treks, canopy walks, and night safaris. It is a key launch point for observing rare wildlife and learning about one of the oldest tropical rainforests on the planet.
Danum Valley Conservation Area (DVCA)
The Danum Valley Conservation Area is one of Southeast Asia’s most significant protected lowland rainforests, covering over 43,800 hectares of untouched primary forest. Rich in biodiversity, it provides habitat for endangered species such as orangutans, pygmy elephants, sun bears, and clouded leopards, as well as more than 340 bird species. As a Class I Protection Forest, DVCA is closed to logging and development, making it a globally important destination for both ecotourism and research.
Ulu Segama Forest Reserve
The Ulu Segama Forest Reserve surrounds the Danum Valley region and acts as a critical buffer and biodiversity corridor. Although parts of it were once logged, ongoing reforestation projects – including INFAPRO – are helping restore its ecological value. This forest reserve plays a key role in linking fragmented habitats, enabling wildlife such as civets, orangutans, and hornbills to move safely across landscapes. For travellers, Ulu Segama offers access to wild, regenerating forest with meaningful conservation impact.
