Sabah’s longest river, the 450 km long Kinabatangan, provides an excellent introduction to the wonders of the rainforest. Seven lodges along the river welcome visitors, with boat cruises and walking trails affording great opportunities for exploration. Wild Orang-utans, Proboscis Monkeys and Long-tailed Macaques are just three of the monkey species to be found along the Menanggul River (a tributary of the Kinabatangan). The whole river is a wildlife extravaganza, with crocodiles basking in the shoals, and an exotic array of birdlife gliding overhead.
