What to expect
The Kinabatangan River is a 560-kilometre river in Sabah, Malaysia, known for its rich biodiversity and wildlife. It is home to many species, including proboscis monkeys, orangutans, Bornean pygmy elephants, and saltwater crocodiles. The river and its surrounding forest are a great place for wildlife watching, with many tour operators offering boat cruises and guided tours. The area is also recognized as Sabah's first and Malaysia's largest RAMSAR site, and is home to 10 species of primates. A river cruise along the river at dawn or dusk is the best opportunity to see the wildlife, and many tour companies offer packages that include accommodation, transportation, and meals. The Kinabatangan is a great wildlife and education escapism for all types of travelers and is family-friendly, with a minimum of three days recommended to stay and spot the wildlife
