The Kinabatangan River and the dense forests and swamplands around the waterbody are home to orangutans. This region is also the only home of the proboscis monkey on the planet. Kinabatangan is one of the two places in the world where 10 species of primates are found. All the eight species of hornbill nest here. These are not mere statistics.
If you are a wildlife enthusiast, you are dizzy with excitement and are probably packing your bags right now to head to this corner of the world, a cradle of Mother Nature and a sanctuary for many endangered species. A cruise down the river during your holiday to Sabah is guaranteed to provide close encounters of another kind.
