Experience Borneo

A once in a lifetime experience in the heart of an orangutan sanctuary

An opportunity

Deep in Samboja Lodge lies a beautifully located eco-lodge within an orangutan sanctuary, mainly only utilised by volunteers. There was an opportunity to offer much more while spreading awareness of the importance of orangutan conservation by Borneo Orangutan Survival.

The result

Within a passionate team, ideas and hard work turned to reality: Experience Borneo. A separate site offering incredible experiences in Borneo, in coordination of the global partnership and the head office.
I’ve had the pleasure of coordinating, marketing and photographing unique retreats, all while supporting orangutans under their care.

I really enjoyed the retreat. Everyone was really friendly and welcoming. Great team – loved you all. Zoe and Sam were friendly, fun and helpful.

Zoë, Sam, Lillita and Bunga were the absolute dream team! Their passion for their work, their warm hearts and fun souls was the perfect blend for the team to run this trip. I could not have asked for more from this experience and I thank you all from the
bottom of my heart for making this the most incredible experience of my life.
