Lubok Kasai Jungle Camp

Operated by Borneo Adventure

Ulu Ai, Sarawak, Malaysia

A visit to a longhouse is often the highlight of a trip to Sarawak, offering a glimpse into the lifestyle of the
various tribes who have for generations lived in the remote interior of Borneo. While there are many
areas in Sarawak where longhouses can be visited, Ulu Ai is one of the best. What makes Ulu Ai so
special is the natural environment and stunning scenery. Clean rivers and jungle streams, refreshing
waterfalls and undisturbed tracts of rainforest allow you to combine a range of outdoor activities with a
longhouse visit.

Accommodation at Lubok Kasai Jungle Camp

In response to the overwhelming success of
Borneo Adventure’s lodge at Nanga Sumpa
we have opened a new jungle lodge at
nearby Lubok Kasai. Lubok Kasai is located
a 30-45 minute longboat ride from Nanga
Sumpa in what is undoubtedly one of the
most beautiful areas of Sarawak. Journey
time from the Batang Ai Lake to Lubok
Kasai is approximately 2 hours depending
on the water level of the river.

This lodge provides a more exclusive

environment in a stunning riverside setting
at the edge of the rainforest. Lubok Kasai
was set up to appeal to people who want to
experience a totally natural and tranquil
setting - away from the sights, sounds and activities of a vibrant longhouse.
If you want 5-star hotel-style accommodation, Lubok Kasai is probably not for you. However, if you don’t
mind staying in a comfortable but basic jungle lodge and enjoy nature at its best, you will be rewarded
with a unique experience of upriver Borneo.

Lubok Kasai is located on the banks of the Lalang River. It is essentially a replica, mini-longhouse with 8
rooms and a ruai or verandah at the front. The rooms are unfurnished and are set up with beds and
mattresses, clean bedding and mosquito netting. The lodge has a capacity of 24 people. There are four
larger rooms which can accommodate four people and four twin rooms.

The lodge comprises the main longhouse-style accommodation building, a separate kitchen hut and a
toilet and shower block with western-style toilets and gravity-fed showers.

At night traditional oil lamps are used to light the lodge and the plank walkway. Meals usually feature
chicken, beef, fish, fresh jungle vegetables, fruit and other local delicacies. Meals are normally served in
served Iban style on the ruai of the main lodge building.

Activities & Excursions

The lodge is surrounding by rainforest in an

area that is inhabited by a thriving
population of wild orangutans. Staying at
Lubok Kasai offers the chance to explore
the numerous jungle trails; spot local
wildlife; and enjoy the clear cooling waters
of the adjacent Lalang River. The Enseluai
waterfall is just a short boat ride away; and
of course your Iban hosts are always on
hand; cooking traditional food and ready to
provide every assistance when required.
Trips to Jambu and Nanga Sumpa
Longhouses can also be arranged, as can
fishing trips further upriver.

Lubok Kasai is ideal if you want a more

relaxed itinerary; or indeed a tailor-made
programme suited entirely to your needs:
whether it be trekking in search for
orangutan or other wildlife; taking a boat
ride further upriver to have a picnic on
pebble beach; simply chilling out by the
river; or treating yourself to periods of quiet
solitude, insulated from the outside world.
