Danum Valley Field Centre
The Danum Valley Field Centre offers guests the chance to stay right in the heart of the renowned conservation area, alongside scientists and researchers studying the wonderful flora and fauna of the region.
Accommodation is basic but sufficient. Only certain categories have air conditioning, which is recommended in the humid conditions. Management is currently working to improve the accommodation options for increasing tourism interest, and four new two bedroom houses are also being refurbished, which will offer a better option for guests. Meals are served buffet style in the cafeteria/restaurant area.
There is an extensive trail network available from the centre, and guides can be provided. The onsite gallery contains interesting specimens from the research conducted there. This is a great option for guests who wish to be fully immersed in the Danum Valley and do not require luxury board.
Facilities
Rooms have either fans or AC, ensuite bathrooms and double or twin beds. The lodge has a communal dining and relaxation area for guests to enjoy.
Local Wildlife
With over 270 species of birds and a diverse array of wildlife, including the Bornean Orangutan, Pygmy Elephant, and many other mammals, Danum Valley is a paradise for nature enthusiasts.
Optional Activities
Many jungle treks are available in both primary and secondary forest surrounding the lodge.

We had a great holiday because we were looked after so well. The wildlife viewing was the best possible because of the effort put into it by the guides…We saw more wildlife than we expected or had hoped for. Orang-utans in the wild as well as at Sepilok. The turtle laying and releasing was great. A heard of about 20 elephants at Sukau only feet from the boat + an amazing array of birds including some very rare ones. Also a 9’ crocodile….Danum Valley was amazing but it is necessary to stay several nights at least to get the benefit. Overall it was a brilliant holiday.
