Best hotels in Indonesia

Hotels in Indonesia range from simple river lodges deep in Borneo's rainforest to polished villa resorts on far-flung island coastlines. We have 138 properties across Indonesia, where stays start from around USD 90 per person per night and climb to USD 800 at the very top. First-timers tend to head to Ubud for rice paddies and a sprinkling of the spiritual, wildlife-lovers split their time between Komodo, home of the dragons, and the orangutans of Tanjung Puting National Park, while culture buffs go straight to Yogyakarta for Java's centuries-old temples. Up in Munduk's cool hills you can tour a local coffee farm between waterfall walks. Amber Lombok Beach Resort puts you right on the sand in South Lombok, while NIHI Sumba, we'd argue, is Indonesia's most memorable address, perched above a wild stretch of Sumba's coastline.

An Incredible Safari Experience Thanks to Timbuktu Travel

An Incredible Safari Experience Thanks to Timbuktu Travel
October 2026
11 nights in Kenya and Tanzania
We recently returned from an incredible safari through Kenya and Tanzania, and we couldn't be happier with our experience working with Timbuktu Travel. Joanna and her team were wonderful from start to finish. They listened to what we wanted from our safari and designed an itinerary that exceeded our expectations. They helped us prepare for every aspect of the trip, answered our questions along the way, and made sure everything ran seamlessly once we arrived in Africa. From the accommodations and guides to the transfers and overall coordination, everything was exceptionally well organized. We were also celebrating a milestone anniversary, and Joanna and her team went above and beyond to make it special. They arranged anniversary surprises at every stop, including cakes, traditional celebration songs, and even a private dinner. These thoughtful touches made an already amazing trip even more memorable. We also want to recognize Joachim, our private guide for the final four days of our safari. He was friendly, patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and an absolute pleasure to spend time with. He made the final part of our journey particularly enjoyable. The entire experience exceeded our expectations. We saw incredible wildlife, stayed at wonderful camps, and never had to worry about the logistics. Timbuktu took care of everything, allowing us to simply enjoy the adventure. We can't thank Joanna, Joachim, and the entire Timbuktu team enough for creating such an unforgettable experience. We would highly recommend Timbuktu Travel to anyone planning an African safari.

I have dealt with many, many travel companies and Timbuktu is one of the best. Annie could not have been more helpful, patient and knowledgeable. The attention to detail was amazing - everyone was where they needed to be at the right time. We were met at the airports as planned; the drivers were on time; the hotels were wonderful, the guides made the trip so very memorable. Annie went well above and beyond in working everything out for us. She even made reservations at a local restaurant for us to get a true taste of South African cooking and culture. In Zimbabwe, she booked us a private boat for a sunset cruise with drinks and light refreshments - spectacular! I really can't say enough good things about working with Timbuktu and Annie, in particular. Even though we made many changes along the way and there were ten of us to please, she was able to pull of a great itinerary for us and keep us within range of our original budget. I highly recommend Timbuktu.
