Borneo Travel - Tailor made itineries in Borneo from the Travel Trading Company.

SUKAU AND SEPILOK

SUKAU is located on the banks of the Kinabatangan River, the largest river in Sabah. Birding here is done from boats. The freshwater swamp and riverine forests here allow wetland specialists to mix freely with forest species. An additional attraction here is the proboscis monkeys, a remarkable primate found only in Borneo. A popular destination for all our birding clients.

SEPILOK, better known as an Orang Utan Sanctuary, is in an area of lowland
dipterocarp forest. The outer perimeters of the reserve are well frequented
by sunbirds, flowerpeckers and munias.
