Meaning forest, Rimba is a forest lodge on the banks of the Sekonyer River and is the best place from which to access the three orangutan feeding sites in Tanjung Puting National Park.
Rimba has 35 air-conditioned cabins, surrounded by forest, with wooden boardwalks throughout. There is an opportunity to see macaques, proboscis monkey and numerous birds species directly from the lodge.
Rimba is simple and rustic but allows you to access the world of the orangutan.
A stay at Rimba Lodge is all about the surrounding rainforest and its residents. The lodge restaurant serves meals in the communal dining area or on the lodges traditional river boat. It is worth stopping at the duty-free on arrival to pick up your favourite tipple as there is no alcohol available, however you are welcome to bring your own.
When staying here it is all about wildlife and especially orangutans. Visit the three feeding sites including the renowned Camp Leakey. Each site is reached by the river on your klotok, or local boat and is a walk of up to two kilometres from the river along a wooden boardwalk and sandy paths. Wildlife watching en route to and from the feeding sites on board your klotok – orangutans, proboscis monkeys, monitor lizards and kingfishers. In additional visit Sekonyer village, take a guide forest night-walk and plant a tree and contribute to the reforestation project.
On the banks of the Sekonyer River in Tanjung Putting National Park, Rimba Lodge is two hours by boat (klotok) from Pangkalan Bun, Kalimantan’s southernmost airport.

Clare was terrific! At the last minute, I did a complete change of my plans, and she was incredibly graceful and positive about changing everything. The livaboard she recommended was great. I thoroughly enjoyed--and appreciated--working with her.
