We had an amazing stay at the Lodge. Comfy with good food and very nice people. Our guide Andy had an amazing eye and we found four of the Big Five just the orang-utans were missing. Would totally do it again!

Booked: 3D2N Kinabatangan River Safari

This jungle river cruise was a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Gliding through lush rainforest, we spotted monkeys, exotic birds, and even a crocodile. The guide was friendly and informative, and a cultural talk event added a meaningful cultural touch. Peaceful, scenic, and unforgettable—highly recommended!

Booked: 3D2N Kinabatangan River Safari with Night Cruise & Jungle Trek

Can’t recommend enough! We were fortunate to see all the big 5 as well as plenty other things. Our guide was great. Dorm rooms were lovely as was the food. Couldn’t ask for much more. Definitely do the 3D2N trip if you can.
