The Kinabatangan is the largest river in Sabah. Its lower reaches are rich in wildlife, especially the curious proboscis monkey, which sleep in the trees along the bank. Watching them gather there as your boat drifts silently down the river at dusk is a memorable experience. And when you return at down, as the morning mist lifts from the river, they will still be there. You have a good chance too to see hornbills and kingfishers, macaques and leaf monkeys. Small lakes near the river attract larger animals- wild boar and deer- which come to drink in the morning or evening. Elephants are also know to be in the area whereby our expert guide will lead you to see the pygmy elephants.
