Kinabatangan River
|
The Kinabatangan river is one of the best and most easily accessible places to see wildlife in Asia! The population density of animals on this stretch of the Kinabatangan river is second to none, including so much of Sabah's most sought after wildlife: Orang-utans, proboscis monkeys, pygmy elephants, langurs, wild cats, crocodiles, amazing birdlife and much much more! We recommend you take a 3 day 2 night Kinabatangan river trip as this will give you the best chances of seeing as much wildlife as possible.
Over the course of 3 days you will be surrounded by nature, join sunrise & sunset river cruises, trek through the jungle and also get the chance to experience the jungle at night, on night walks. Experienced, eagle-eyed nature guides will be with you throughout to help you spot the critters you may otherwise miss! With varied trip options and accommodation ranging from dorms and private A/C rooms to private villas, our Kinabatangan river trips can accommodate just about all budgets and comfort levels. |
