One of the most protected parts of Malaysia, the Kinabatangan River is famed throughout the world for its biodiversity and endemic species. Wildlife is plentiful, including Borneo pygmy elephants, orangutans and the enigmatic proboscis monkey.
The second longest river in Malaysia, with a length of 560 kilometres from its headwaters in the mountains of Sabah, its floodplain is a low-lying wilderness of dense forest and oxbow lakes. Groups can take a river safari to learn more about the wildlife of Borneo, including rare species of bird.
Each year the river floods in the wet season causing a huge inland sea to form – this adds to the vibrant biodiversity of the region and provides another variety of ecosystem. The river winds through mountains, forests and plains, giving students a stunning assortment of wildlife, vegetation and landscapes.
