— What You Can Expect —

Stretching 560 km from the Crocker Range in the southwest of Sabah to the Sulu
Sea in the east, the Kinabatangan River is the longest river in Sabah,
sustains one of the world’s richest ecosystems. The surrounding areas along
the river consist of five distinct habitats - dipterocarp or dry, waterlogged
and limestone forests, and freshwater and saline swamps. The lower basin of
the river itself is the largest forest covered floodplain in Malaysia and has
the largest concentration of wildlife in the South East Asian region.

Other than being home to Borneo’s indigenous orang utan and proboscis monkey,
the surrounding forest is also one of only two known places in the world where
10 species of primates namely Proboscis monkeys, langurs, macaques, orang
utan, slow loris, western tarsier are found. All the 8 species of hornbill
such as Rhinoceros Hornbill, Pied Hornbill, Black Hornbill, Helmeted Hornbill
(50kg, 120cm) also found in Borneo make the area their home. Besides, there
are many more wildlife found, eg. kingfishers, bubuls, trogons, flycatchers,
sunbirds, broadbills, herons, mangrove snakes, vipers, estuarine crocodile,
asian elephants and etc.

A trip up the river at dawn or dusk is the best opportunity to see the
wildlife. You might even sight an Asian elephant or a Sumatran rhinoceros
wandering through the trees. Optional tours can be arranged for night safaris
as well to spot crocodiles, birds and nocturnal animals.
