CIVET WING: 3DAYS 2NIGHT PACKAGE

The lower basin of Kinabatangan River (at about 560km is Sabah’s longest river), is the largest forest-covered floodplain in Malaysia. Its surrounding rainforest wetlands make up one of the richest ecosystems on Earth.

WWF (formerly known as the World Wildlife Fund and one of the world's largest and most respected independent conservation organizations) states that this area is one of only two known places on Earth where 10 primate species can be found. Some of these include the Orang Utan, the proboscis monkey, macaques, maroon langur and Bornean gibbon, all of which are endemic to Borneo. You might also be able to catch sight of the newly discovered “Borneo Pygmy Elephants”.

Bird lovers will find the bird watching incredible: all 8 of Borneo’s hornbill species are seen regularly. Occasionally, two species of the gorgeous pitas can be spotted, as well as the Storm’s stork and the bizarre Oriental darter or ‘Snake Bird’. Of the 200 over species of birds recorded in the area, eight of these are of Malaysia’s threatened bird species.

The lodge is located at the Lower Kinabatangan River Sanctuary. It is out of the normal tourist route and has been built by using recycle wood and placed out of the tourist route in order to enjoy the surrounding nature and to minimize the environmental impact.
