Samboja Lodge

Samboja Lodge is an eco-lodge set within the Samboja Lestari conservation area near Balikpapan, surrounded by reforested jungle that is home to orangutans, sun bears, and a wide variety of birdlife. Built primarily from recycled and sustainable materials, the lodge features uniquely designed rooms with private balconies overlooking the forest canopy. Facilities include a restaurant serving Indonesian and international dishes, a rooftop tower for wildlife viewing, and guided walking trails throughout the reserve. Staying here supports the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation’s conservation efforts, with opportunities to learn about rehabilitation projects and the reforestation program.
