Emily R.
An absolutely incredible trip! Seeing the orangutans at Sepilok was a dream come true, but the real highlight was the Kinabatangan river cruise. We saw pygmy elephants, proboscis monkeys, and so many birds. Sukau Lodge was comfortable and the guides were so knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
David L.
A great overview of Sabah. Mari Mari Cultural Village was surprisingly engaging, and the staff were wonderful. The river cruises were beautiful, though wildlife sightings are never guaranteed (we missed the elephants). Day 4 is a long travel day, but worth it to see both sides of Sabah. A well-organized tour.
