Frequently Asked Questions

What unique wildlife encounters can we anticipate while staying at New Bajo within Loh Buaya National Park?

We love that New Bajo places you right in the heart of Komodo dragon territory; seeing these magnificent reptiles in their natural habitat is truly unforgettable. Beyond the dragons, we often spot wild boar, Timor deer, and a fantastic array of birdlife right around the lodge, making every moment an opportunity for discovery.

When is the most rewarding time of year to plan our visit to New Bajo and Loh Buaya National Park?

We recommend visiting during the dry season, typically April to December, as the trails are more accessible for dragon trekking and the weather is consistently pleasant. While the landscape is drier, the clear skies make for sensational sunsets over the savanna, and wildlife viewing is often excellent near water sources.

What is the overall atmosphere and guest experience like at New Bajo, being an inviting retreat inside the national park?

The lodge feels luxurious and timeless, offering a genuine sense of immersion without sacrificing comfort; we particularly appreciate the quiet mornings with only the sounds of nature. You can expect a serene, intimate atmosphere where the focus is on connecting with the environment, complemented by attentive service and delicious local cuisine.

How does New Bajo ensure guest safety given its location amidst the wildlife of Loh Buaya National Park?

Guest safety is paramount, and we find New Bajo's protocols to be excellent; experienced park rangers always accompany guests on any excursions outside the lodge grounds. Within the lodge itself, staff are well-trained and aware of the wildlife, providing a secure and comfortable environment for relaxation.

What are the typical travel arrangements and journey like to reach New Bajo within Loh Buaya National Park?

We find the journey to New Bajo to be part of the adventure, typically involving a scenic boat transfer from Labuan Bajo on Flores, which takes about two hours. This allows for stunning coastal views and often a chance to spot marine life before arriving directly at the park's jetty, making for a seamless and exciting arrival.
