Review Body: I recently returned from a trip to Borneo. I was with them for 5d/4n. The exeperience was phenomenal. The group is heavily devoted to raising awareness of the rainforest inhabitants -both plants and animals. We spent a bit of time watching some videos on some of the highlight species (both plants and animals). The guides were exceptional at finding things and sharing knowledge on the ecology. True and proper eco-tourism at its finest. I'm very excited to see how they will continue to help shape and protect Borneo's rainforests.

Review Body: Great off the beaten-track experience. Amazing spot for night drives and river cruises. It is the only accommodation in a giant park teeming with wildlife: a truly exclusive experience. The accommodation is located in a low-impact logging area, so it is a great example of how sustainable land-use can ensure wildlife remains in areas used by humans, which is greatly demonstrated in infographics and posters showing research conducted in the park.

Review Body: Great trip, knowledgeable guides. I love the conservation focus, and you can see the great work they are doing on the ground. I think people can easily go to Borneo and end up not learning anything at all, but with them, I felt I learnt so much about the forests and the wildlife. Absolutely recommend.

Review Body: The maximum group size is 6 people on the property so it felt almost like a private tour. Super nice staff. Wildlife comes right up to the buildings (we watched a hornbill couple on a date taking apart some delivery boxes).

Review Body: Our family Beluran experience was amazing. Kathy was an incredibly friendly, fun and knowledgeable host. The food was fab! The accommodation was rustic and basic but it was worth it. Keep up the great work team!

Review Body: We went on a Beluran Safari for 1 night. It was well organised. The night drive was excellent with great sigtings of moon rat, long tail porcupine, lesser mouse deer and slow loris. The food was very good. Accomodation was comfortable, toilet was ok. Though we did not participate in the river cruise, we heard that it was good from other participants.

Rare chance to explore a lesser-known side of Deramakot with conservationists
This is Deramakot done differently. Instead of entering through the main, busier gate, you access a quieter part of the same forest landscape near oxbow lakes where wildlife naturally gathers. This means fewer vehicles and a more focused safari experience. What makes this experience even more meaningful is that it’s run by a conservation NGO rather than a typical tour operator, making it ideal for serious wildlife lovers who want deeper insight, stronger mammal focus, and a trip that directly supports real conservation work.Safaris are guided by experienced local trackers, and trips are closely tied to conservation work. 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. You’re not just observing wildlife - you’re supporting the people protecting it.Where is Beluran? Beluran sits within the wider Deramakot Forest landscape - one of Sabah’s richest areas for mammal sightings - but operates from a quieter secondary access point near oxbow lakes and tributaries where wildlife naturally gathers. With fewer vehicles and less traffic than the main Deramakot entry, it offers a more intimate and focused safari experience, while accessing the same ecosystem and wildlife quality the area is known for.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 KnowAll 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
