This was an amazing place to spend 2 night and we could have stayed longer. The room is basic but the shower is hot and the aircon is nice. The tours are outstanding and we did all we could. JD the guide was outstanding. Seeing things so small from such a long way a way. We managed to see so many animals here. Elephants, orang-utan’s, proboscis monkeys, crocodile, hornbills, flying foxes and so much more. This was the highlight of our Borneo trip. We highly recommended staying here.

We had a wonderful stay with Mr Bam’s family. It was Hari Raya and the family welcomed us to join in their festivities for the national holidays, which was so lovely and unexpected. We enjoyed the river cruises with Bam’s son each day and lucked out seeing the Pygmy elephants, proboscis monkeys, an orangutan and crocodile. The rooms are simple and comfortable for the time you need near Kinabatangan River. The food prepared each day was delicious as well. It was nice to know the breakdown of accommodation, food, transportation and activities too. Mr Bam had great communication with us before and during our stay.

The place and associated activities is fantastic! We had some of the best guided river cruises I've ever been to. The guide/boat driver is exceptional, he can spot a bird inside a bush from 50m away at night!!! :) In only 3 days (or 2 full days and one morning) we managed to spot Long-tailed macaques, pig-tailed macaques, Proboscis monkeys, Orangutan (!!!), 3 species of hornbills, a massive saltwater crocodile, and countless bird species and a snake. The setup is very easy, you just sign up to your trips (there is one cruise in the morning, one in the afternoon and one in the evening) or hikes, and then meet the driver/guide at the reception 5min before. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and clearly knew a lot about the river and the animals there. The staff at the place was also really nice and accommodating and always smiling. The food was very nice, with generous portions. You can buy additional beverages at the place, or go to a nearby supermarket where you can find a lot of products. The place is really beautiful, all green with full of animals (we saw hornbills in the trees just outside the room). The room was simple, but had everything we needed. The bed was really comfy, and the shower worked well and provided hot water. The air con worked great, as did the fan, and we had very few bugs in the room. All in all, a fantastic stay that I will never forget. Highly recommended!!!

We came to see Orang Utangs in the wild, wishing not to disturb them in their homes and approach passively. We got so much more. This camp is privately run by someone who keeps it natural rainforest and doesn't sell to someone making a palm oil farm from it. The people in this camp TRULY care about the rainforest, the animals, and their visitors. Main woman Linda makes sure you have absolutely everything you need at all times. Of course, you are in the middle of the jungle, so wifi only in the common area (but there is wifi in the middle of the jungle!) and there is no jaccuzi. But once you're over that it is 100% perfection! A true rural jungle experience! We stayed 3 nights and already saw the big 5 the second day! Food was plenty, very very delicious with seafood and meat/ chicken/ and really exciting vegetarian options too! Timings: Arrival day - 1pm lunch, 4pm 2h boat tour on river, 7pm dinner Typical day - 6:30am 2h boat tour, then breakfast, 1pm lunch, 4pm boat tour, 7pm dinner Check out day - 6:30am boat tour, breakfast, 10am check out and boat + bus to airport (takes ca. 2h) Top tip: if you love sweeties like me, bring some buscuits / chocolate / oreos

A good area for spotting wildlife, but I would recommend...

A good area for spotting wildlife, but I would recommend staying in a smaller family-run accommodation as you get a better personal service and excellent local knowledge. Early morning and late afternoon and night boat trips offer great opportunities to see the wildlife. We enjoyed walking round the local village, but there are not many places to eat out. We had all our meals at the homestay.

Amazing time on the river! This is a great place to stay.

Amazing time on the river! This is a great place to stay. Make sure you visit the Saturday/ Sunday market for a glimpse of local life. We would advise joining as many cruises as possible during your stay, to spot as much wildlife as possible. It seems the tours are all the same just the accommodation varies, so don’t worry about being on a budget. We did a 3D2N tour at sakau backpackers (we believe cheapest on the river) and it was absolutely amazing, comfortable rooms, but the important part was the great river cruises and passionate guides who would do all they could to hunt to find as much wildlife as possible. Out of 4 months in Asia, our time in Sakau and Sepilok has been our favourite.

The river cruise with a fantastic boatman and guide. They did everything they could to please everyone and gave us plenty of time to take photos. Nothing was too much trouble for them. It was simply fantastic!
