Highlights

• Stay among the birds and beasts of the jungle, right next to an oxbow lake, at Kinabatangan Eco Camp and fall asleep to the sounds of cicadas.
• Visit the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre and, if you’re lucky, watch baby orangutans learn to swing in a special enclosure.
• Cruise along Kinabatangan River at sunset, looking out for macaques, wild orangutan and proboscis monkeys.
• Watch protected turtle hatchlings scatter across the beach to the water under the cover of night – this is a special opportunity to see baby turtles in their natural habitat, but make sure you listen to your guides as this is a sensitive and fragile area!
