Explore a lesser-known side of Deramakot Forest with expert guides
This 3D2N safari takes you deep into the Deramakot Landscape with a team rooted in conservation work on the ground — not a typical tour operator.Your time here is shaped by people deeply involved in wildlife research and habitat protection. Join expert guides who share real insights into Borneo’s ecosystems, animal behaviour and conservation challenges, going far beyond standard tourist commentary. Expect river cruises where proboscis monkeys and hornbills are often spotted, guided forest walks, and night drives.What makes this experience truly meaningful is its impact. Your visit supports conservation efforts such as habitat restoration, tree planting, wildlife monitoring and rescue work, while also contributing to local communities and conservation awareness. Set away from the busier Deramakot routes, this quieter area offers a more intimate rainforest experience, with strong chances of spotting gibbons, leaf monkeys and other mammals. Accommodation is simple and rustic, keeping the focus on nature, learning and purpose — ideal for travellers who want their time in the rainforest to matter.What to ExpectWildlife spotting in prime locations near oxbow lakes and tributariesExpert-guided night and day safaris focusing on mammals, birds, and insectsSimple lodge with a community-driven atmosphereOpportunities to learn about ongoing conservation projects and local reforestation effortsShared meals and relaxed evenings in the company of passionate guides and fellow travellersGood to KnowThe lodge offers basic private rooms with shared toiletsAll tours include transport from Sandakan, meals, and guidingWildlife sightings depend on natural conditions; patience is part of the adventureThis experience involves some walking and jeep safaris on uneven terrain – suitable for most fitness levelsBoat cruises and evening drives are planned to maximise wildlife encounters

Shavez is someone who’s been deeply involved in protecting Borneo’s wildlife and forests since 2012, when he started 1StopBorneo in Brunei. Over the years, this grassroots effort has grown across Sarawak and Sabah, focusing on everything from tree planting and hornbill conservation to rescuing injured animals. He’s often out in the field, working alongside local communities, running jungle tours that directly support conservation, or helping set up camera traps to deter poaching. Shavez also plays a big role in educating others—through talks, publications, and hands-on experiences—about Borneo’s rich biodiversity. He’s well-connected in the conservation world, but remains approachable and hands-on in his work.
