our 2D1N trip with the guided river cruise tour was excellent, we have a great group of people having the tour with, very skilled and easy going, nice tour guide,(Azizie) who explained very detailed about the animals out there, we saw a full herd of elephants enjoying themselves in the river, Hornbills, crocodiles and other birds and little snake during the night cruise. Our favourite was the early morning cruise, beautiful lights, good weather. the double (private) room is outstanding, we love that, i recommend it if you prefer comfort and private own space instead of sharing the same room with others- which im pretty sure a satisfying experience here at Greenview lodge, as well. Thank you for the staff as well for having us with good care. Highlight of our trip for sure.

All in all it was a very nice experience. The Boat Cruises are very nice, we did the Elefant Searching tour with Roder and it was such a nice experience and he is such a nice Guide. The Coffee Time before the Morning Cruises was a bit short. Sadly was no warm Water in the lodges.

Amazing river cruise experience in the jungle. Our guide Jack was very knowledgeable and found so many different animals along the river, including all the Borneo big 5! The package included a variety of activities, all of which we really enjoyed. Our accommodation (twin deluxe room) was really clean and comfortable, with great air conditioning. The food was good, and as a vegetarian I was well catered for (after registering my dietary requirements, staff brought me a vegetarian option for lunches and dinners). Transport to and from the accommodation was easy and well communicated, with friendly and professional drivers. The whole experience was really well organised and we had an amazing time. Would recommend!

We had an amazing stay! The rooms were beautifully clean and comfortable, and the staff were extremely kind and helpful. The food was also very tasty, adding to the overall great experience. During our trip, we had the chance to see around five different species of monkeys, which was an unforgettable experience. The guides were also fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to help. Our only minor point would be the price, which is quite high. Of course, it’s up to each guest to decide if it’s worth it. However, at this price, it doesn’t seem appropriate to charge extra for Wi-Fi, especially since it’s only available in the lobby. Highly recommended overall!

We enjoyed this 3d/2n stay at Borneo Natural Sukau Bilit. It definitely felt like a great value for what we paid. The lodge is well organized and has a developed program for your stay, though it did feel like a bit of a machine processing you and it could have been more personal and welcoming. The river cruises were well done - they are really focused on spotting the Borneo Big Five, as other reviewers note, but try to ignore that and just enjoy whatever you see. The lodge is right along the river and the private room was large enough for two. Food was adequate and served by buffet - we especially appreciate that they had some tofu and vegetables set aside at each meal for vegetarians, though that wasn't clearly communicated. Flexible pickup and dropoff locations included Sepilok (so we could stay there the night before and just walk to the orang and sunbear sanctuaries before the 1245pm pickup).

Nous avons vécu un séjour inoubliable à Borneo Natural Sukau Bilit Resort. Les petits chalets sont superbes, les activités et notamment les croisières sont géniales, la nourriture est excellente, le personnel adorable, le rapport qualité-prix imbattable au vu du service proposé. Allez-y les yeux fermés!! C’est magique ✨🩷

Wildlife Safaris in Malaysia FAQs

What are the best wildlife sanctuaries in Malaysia for off-the-beaten-path experiences?

Consider exploring less-visited gems like Kuala Gula Bird Sanctuary and Matang Mangrove Forest Reserve for unique sightings of diverse birdlife and primates. These destinations offer a quieter and more intimate wildlife encounter.

How can I experience the local culture while on a wildlife safari in Malaysia?

Immerse yourself in local traditions by visiting indigenous villages like Kampung Gajah in Taman Negara. Engage with the Orang Asli community, learn about their customs, and capture authentic cultural moments through photography.

What photography tips can you share for capturing stunning wildlife shots in Malaysia?

Take advantage of the early morning and late evening golden hours for optimal lighting. Use a telephoto lens for close-up shots and a wide-angle lens to capture the vast landscapes. Remember to shoot in RAW format and be patient to observe animal behavior for the perfect shot.

What are some hidden gems for wildlife photography in Malaysia?

Venture beyond popular destinations to discover hidden photography spots. The Pahang National Park offers stunning waterfalls and pristine rainforests, while the Lanjak Entigong Forest Reserve is known for its vibrant birdlife.

Respect the animals by maintaining a safe distance, avoiding feeding or disturbing them, and using eco-friendly practices. Support local guides who prioritize conservation and ethical wildlife viewing. By acting responsibly, you can contribute to the protection and well-being of Malaysia's precious wildlife.
