Orangutan Conservation
Commence your jungle and tropical island adventure by flying from Kuala Lumpur to Borneo, the third largest island in the world. A paradise for nature enthusiasts, you will commence your experience in Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary in North-Eastern Sabah. Comprised of copious ecosystems of freshwater lakes, forests and limestone hills, the biodiversity here outshines every other site in Malaysia. Take a helicopter deep into the jungle to the HUTAN Kinabatangan Orangutan Conservation Program and revel in the brilliant aerial views. Meet the program’s founder, Marc Ancrenaz, a world-renowned figure for orangutan research to learn about the critically endangered primates and their conservation. Spend unforgettable time with the orangutans in this humbling wildlife experience as you discover how the program supports the co-existence of people and wildlife in protected areas. Delight in an exceptional cruise along Kinabatangan River; Sabah’s longest stretch of water flowing 560km. Distinguished as one of Southeast Asia’s top wildlife watching destinations, weave peacefully down the river through varying habitats of mangroves, oxbow lakes and dense forest. Encounter some of Borneo’s most spectacular wildlife as you search for orangutan, proboscis monkeys, slow loris, Irrawaddy dolphins and majestic pygmy elephants amongst their luscious environment.
