Itinerary

Borneo River Safari

DAY 1

Sandakan – Kinabatangan

Today’s tour starts at 08:00. Meet your guide at either the airport or hotel and drive for about half an hour to the Sepilok Orang-Utan Rehabilitation Centre where orphaned and injured Orang-Utans are brought to be rehabilitated to return and fend for themselves before release back into the wild. Sepilok is a primary lowland forest, a fine showcase of Borneo’s remaining rainforest. Witness the feeding of Orang-Utans from a platform in the forest and later watch a 25-minute scheduled video documentary. You will also visit the nearby Sun Bear Conservation Centre, where the endangered species is cared for.

At 11:00 drive for about 2.5hrs through rustic countryside studded with villages. Take a short boat transfer to Borneo Nature Lodge. After an orientation, have lunch and check in.

Relax by the river before embarking by boat up-river at 16:00 along Sabah's longest river, the Kinabatangan, with an opportunity to view wildlife and birds in their virgin rainforest habitat. Search for some of the primates’ species including the endemic Proboscis Monkeys as they settle down on treetops.

Relax by the river before dinner and then tonight head out on an evening cruise to spot nocturnal wildlife on the river.
