5D4N Danum Valley Expedition with INFAPRO Reforestation Stay
Overview of Location
Delve deep into the wild heart of Borneo with this 5D4N Danum Valley–INFAPRO experience, a journey crafted for travellers seeking both comfort and immersion in one of the world’s oldest rainforests. Your base, INFAPRO, is a long-running reforestation hub located in the Ulu Segama Forest Reserve, neighbouring the Danum Valley Conservation Area. With spacious resthouses and 24-hour electricity, INFAPRO provides practical conveniences for travellers — perfect for charging camera gear, using medical equipment, or simply enjoying reliable comfort. It is an ideal middle ground between DVFC’s basic research facilities and the luxury of high-end lodges.
From this eco-base, explore the rainforest on daily 4x4 safari drives and guided walks, uncovering a landscape alive with orangutans, pygmy elephants, hornbills, and rare nocturnal wildlife. The location sits along a natural wildlife corridor linking INFAPRO and DVFC, creating excellent opportunities for sightings both day and night. Your adventure culminates at Bukit Atur, where sunrise unveils sweeping views across a mist-draped canopy, a breathtaking farewell to the valley. With its quieter setting, conservation focus, and access to DVFC’s biodiversity, this 5D4N program offers a more immersive and meaningful connection to Borneo’s ancient rainforest.
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.
