Day 1
Pick up at 10.30am to 11.30am from Sandakan / Sepilok for your journey to the Kinabatangan River with a quick stop at Mango Garden restaurant in Sepilok to buy food & drinks along the way. The journey time from Sepilok is around 2 - 2.5 hours to reach the river. If coming by bus from further afield there is also the option to meet us in Kota Kinabatangan town at around 1.30pm (just enquire for more details on this), before continuing onto your lodge which is located at the Lower Kinabatangan River Sanctuary. Upon arrival, there will be a lodge orientation. In the late afternoon, you will proceed for the river cruise around 4:00 pm in search of wildlife along the river banks returning for a buffet dinner. Enjoy a short night walk around the lodge grounds in search of roosting birds, insects and nocturnal creatures. (D) Day 2 At 06:00 am, a morning river cruise will begin in search of more wildlife and birds. Return from the cruise and enjoy breakfast. After breakfast, there will be a briefing on the morning guided walk around the lodge. The normal departure is around 9 am before things get too hot. During the walk (45 minutes-1 hour), you search for any wildlife as well as plants. You will return to the lodge for lunch and some downtime before your 4 pm river cruise along the Kinabatangan River for more wildlife sight-seeing. Return from the cruise for a buffet dinner. Enjoy a cultural show at the lodge (show will take place either your first or second night). After that, there will be a guided night walk along the lodge for the last chance to spot roosting birds, amphibians, insects or something else if you are lucky. (B,L,D) Day 3 Wake-up to the calls of gibbons and hornbills and join the 6 am morning River Cruise for your final chance to spot animals that frequent the river and call it home. Return to the lodge for breakfast and then depart around 8:30 am for a 2-2.5 hour journey towards Sandakan and Sepilok. For guests flying the same day, arrival at the airport will be around 11 am, giving you plenty of time to catch a flight departing 1:50 pm or later. (B) |
