Join Outback Venture for Sandakan Wildlife Tours & Kinabatangan River Safari — Borneo’s most famous eco-adventure. Cruise along the Kinabatangan River to spot wild orangutans, proboscis monkeys, hornbills, pygmy elephants and crocodiles. Visit conservation highlights like Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre and the Rainforest Discovery Centre, while enjoying authentic nature-based travel in Sabah, Malaysia.
The Kinabatangan floodplains are home to an incredible range of species. Visitors may spot wild orangutans, proboscis monkeys, long-tailed macaques, silvered langurs, crocodiles, and pygmy elephants. The river is also a birdwatcher’s paradise, with hornbills, kingfishers, and over 200 other bird species recorded in the area.
Wildlife sightings are possible all year round, but the dry season (March to October) is considered the best time for river safaris. During these months, animals are easier to spot as they gather near the riverbanks. The wet season (November to February) brings lush scenery and fewer tourists, making it a quieter experience.
