Danum Valley Conservation Area

Covering 438 square kilometres of pristine dipterocarp rainforest, the area is one of the most outstanding for wildlife in all South East Asia. Within its towering trees and stunning landscapes lives a vast array of wildlife including all ten of Sabah's primate species, the highly endangered Sumatran rhinoceros, wild elephant, the beautiful clouded leopard and 275 bird species.   

Borneo Rainforest Lodge
Widely regarded as one of the best wildlife lodges in Asia, with well-appointed bungalows and a large, airy main building containing restaurant, bar and wide veranda. There is an extensive network of trails and an impressive canopy walkway affording a bird’s-eye view of nesting orang-utans.  Night game drives are provided for nocturnal wildlife viewing.   

Gomantong Caves

Close to the Danum Valley, the caves are surrounded by primary rainforest (orang-utans are common here) and home to millions of bats and cave swiflets. The caves have a remarkable guano-based ecology and, at certain times of the year, local villagers can be observed precariously traversing the high cave walls on bamboo ladders as they harvest disused nests for use in bird’s nest soup.
