What Our Guests Say About Deramakot
“We spent 4 days/3 nights in the Deramakot forest with Lost Borneo. It was incredible! We saw tons of animals: orangutans, langurs, long-tailed macaques, lots of birds, butterflies, civets, elephants… A true paradise for wildlife lovers. The lodge was comfortable, and the food was delicious.”

“We spent a lot of time in the jungle — morning, late afternoon and evening/night — spotting animals. Conne and James gave us plenty of information regarding the wildlife and did a great job spotting animals. Deramakot and this tour really was an experience close to nature.”
