INFAPRO Reforestation Site

INFAPRO (INnoprise-Face PROject) is a long-term reforestation and conservation initiative launched in the 1990s to restore previously logged forest areas within the Ulu Segama region. It now functions as both a base for ecological restoration and an eco-accommodation site, offering larger, more comfortable resthouses with 24-hour electricity. Visitors staying at INFAPRO support ongoing conservation efforts while enjoying easy access to Danum Valley via a shared wildlife corridor that connects the two forest zones.

LOCATION / HOW TO GET HERE

Just 11 kilometres from Danum Valley Field Centre (DVFC), INFAPRO offers a quieter, more spacious alternative to staying inside the main research hub. Originally established as a reforestation project, this site now doubles as a comfortable base for exploring one of Borneo’s most iconic rainforests. With larger rooms, ensuite bathrooms, and 24-hour electricity, INFAPRO caters to travellers seeking a more relaxed, mid-range experience without compromising access to Danum Valley’s incredible biodiversity.

While accommodation is based at INFAPRO, most guided activities take place inside DVFC. Trek along established jungle trails, where rare bird species, orangutans, and towering dipterocarp trees await at every turn. After dark, the roads around INFAPRO become a hotspot for nocturnal wildlife. Night drives may reveal secretive species like marbled cats, flat-headed cats, leopard cats, and even the elusive Bornean clouded leopard, along with sightings of Western tarsiers, slow lorises, and binturongs.

INFAPRO features two resthouse options that include attached bathrooms with hot showers. Meals are served buffet-style at the nearby dining hall, with special dietary needs accommodated upon request. Whether you’re here for photography, wildlife, or simply to slow down in nature, INFAPRO delivers a rewarding Danum experience with space to breathe.
