Kebun Raya UNMUL Samarinda (KRUS)

  
     Kebun Raya UNMUL Samarinda or more commonly called by "KRUS" is one of the few sights in the city of Samarinda, the capital of East Kalimantan. Located in the northern city of Samarinda, about 10 kilometers or 15 minutes away by car from downtown.


   To note the area of ​​KRUS, This area was once of HPH belong to a company, but in 1974 the company hand over an area of ​​300 ha to the Rector of the Mulawarman University to be managed as forest conservation or a botanical garden which is also confirmed by the Governor and the Chief of the Forest Service East Kalimantan. In 1997 the Mayor of Samarinda is also re-invigorate that area of ​​forest was used as education of Mulawarman University.

   Since then the region is managed by UNMUL, KRUS is a regional research and academic community gathering place of Unmul Forestry Faculty, not a few also the wider community both in and outside the country conduct research activities in the region.

  In 2001 the Government of Samarinda city and Mulawarman University held return a signingMou, both sides agreed to make some parts of KRUS approximately 62 hectares to be managed as a tourist area.Currently the manager kept trying to fix KRUS to be more attractive to visitors.

    In KRUS for the moment there are mini zoo, mini-called because the animals are still in limited quantities and kept in a cage that size is not too large, there is an orangutan and sun bear is an animal typical of the island of Borneo, then there are sambar deer, estuarine crocodiles , monkeys and others.

   Also here there is also a lake that is wide enough, for those who want to wander the lake water can rent bicycles for use with family or friends.

   If still not satisfied drove around the lake, rent a horse cart around the sights and this could be one option. Having tired of wandering we can rest in the stalls scattered in this area or can sit relaxing in the gazebo at various angles while enjoying the atmosphere.

    I hope the Government city of Samarinda will continue to fix the sights on this one, could also cooperate with private parties who are competent in developing it, so will more and more tourists are attracted to visit samarinda. ^^
