The 560-kilometre Kinabatangan River is Sabah’s longest river, beginning in the Crocker Range in Southwest Sabah and ending at the Sulu Sea southeast of Sandakan. From the headwaters to its vast river mouth, the Kinabatangan passes through a diverse range of habitats, including dipterocarp forest, seasonally flooded riparian forest, oxbow lakes, nipah and mangroves. Whilst the upper reaches of the Kinabatangan River have been extensively logged, much of the lowland forest and mangroves have survived.
This vast floodplain forest contains a rich mix of vegetation that supports a remarkable diversity of wildlife; including proboscis monkeys, orangutan, gibbons, Bornean pygmy elephants, tarsiers, slow loris, macaque monkeys, crocodiles, freshwater sharks, Irrawaddy dolphins, hornbills and a variety of other birds.
In 2005 the Sabah government gazetted the Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary. This protected area essentially forms a narrow wildlife corridor that follows the river. Whilst the sanctuary now safeguards an area of 27,800 hectares, a range of conservation issues remain. A number of NGOs and researchers are active in the Kinabatangan, contributing to conservation projects and working to better understand the environment.
The Kinabatangan River has gained a justified reputation as one of the top wildlife watching destinations in Southeast Asia. Sukau, located 132 km from Sandakan, is the main centre for wildlife tourism along the river. Abai, 47 km from the mouth of the Kinabatangan, also has lodge accommodation and serves as jumping off point for boat-based wildlife watching tours of the lower Kinabatangan and its tributaries.

Hi CK. Thanks for the great video. Would be nice to know how much the entire Kinabatangan river cruise n stay cost you. How did you source Ah Loy, the guide.? He sounded quite knowledgeable. Thanks again.

Nice video..the only problem was the blaring of a torchlight on a sleeping bird..not cool

[@CKology]

The guide say it does not disturb the bird I think it's fine, thanks for watching

I went there in January 2022. It was only me (the tourist) and my guide at the entire resort. I stayed at the same exact room with yours.. 😂.. It was raining throughout my stay there. Had to go through rain during the cruise in search of the big 5 but i only managed to 3 out of 5. I too didn't like the journey from the airport to bilit.. It was 2.5 hrs long...

[@CKology]

Thanks for sharing! It was so unforgettable for me! They took care of me so well. Eternally grateful for this experience
