Great stay on the banks of kinabantangan river

Borneo Natural Sukau Bilit Resort Is a great play to stay in addition to the wonderful river cruises. The night cruise was amazing and got a chance to see crocodiles, birds like kingfisher, owls.

Eddie Nazreen, a kind and friendly driver in Sandakan

Published on May, 2023

I visited Sandakan to took an individual nature tour. I enjoyed watching endangered animals roam freely in their natural habitat, including observing a feeding session at the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Center, seeing a troop of proboscis monkeys, and getting up close to a very rare Malay bear. Since I’m traveling by myself and planned to spend only one night in Sandakan, I contacted Eddie in advance to let him know the places I wanted to see and he pre-scheduled the appropriate tour content to ensure a lean trip. In my free time, I was taken to Sandakan town, food markets, and buffet lunches where only locals come, and I was able to experience things that I would not have been able to experience with other tour guides, thanks to their careful guidance. The car used for guiding was clean, new, and a great ride. I would definitely recommend him! This is a contact information: Eddie Nazreen +60 117 117 1178 borneowildnature@gmail.com

Even though only an overnight stay it was crammed full of activities

Published on Apr, 2023

Enjoyed the whole experience. Lots of options to add and no rush at each activity. Saw lots of wildlife and even a baby croc!

Amazing

Great trip with Mr Aji

Published on Feb, 2019

We contacted Mr. Aji for a 2D1N trip and luckily he had availability at quite short notice (mr.ajisdk@gmail.com) quick reply. He picked us up from Sepilok at 10.30am. We drove to Kinabatangan which was about 2 hours away, checked in to our room. Basic but yes it was clean and there was AC which is all we really wanted. We did the afternoon cruise which was about 2pm to 6pm where we saw orangutans, and lots and lots of different types of monkeys. We then went back for dinner, and did our jungle night walk. We were so lucky to spot a clouded leopard. Weren’t expecting to see any at all as Mr. Aji said he had only seen them on 4 occasions in 2018, and this was the first of 2019 (it was only 27th Jan but still!!!) other than this we saw bats, fireflies, lots of spiders, and other cats I can’t remember what they were called. Next morning we did morning cruise from 6.30am to 8.30am, we saw snakes (again very lucky) lizards, baby croc (quite hard to spot crocs during rainy season because the water is high so again lucky) more orangutans, more monkeys, and a flying lemur. After this we were dropped back to Sepilok by lunch time. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Mr. Aji. He has some kind of magical vision that allows him to spot wildlife from far I’m sure!! We found him to be friendly, if he didn’t answer our questions it was because he was concentrating on what he was doing, not because he was ignoring us! Mr. Aji actually does a lot of work on the river, he showed us some rope bridges he had built which allowed the monkeys to cross the river. And all of this is his own expense, the government don’t fund this. It rained for about an hour on our cruise, and there is no roof on boat, so Make sure you take a rain jacket. We wore wellies also which we are happy about as our feet remained dry and we also felt comfortable wearing these on the jungle walk as it kept all the bugs and biting ants out! So I’d definitely reccomend wearing wellies. P.s take snacks like crisps or something because breakfast isn’t huge and you might not like dinner (all Malaysian food).
