• Hi-Tea & Dinner

A trip that’s best suited for nature lovers looking to experience Sabah's wild side – without having to fly out to Sandakan's Kinabatangan. Encounter primates like the Proboscis Monkey, spot Hornbills and also experience Borneo after-dark as you set out once more on a night river-safari offering dazzling firefly sightings & nocturnal wildlife spotting.

However, as much as we hate to disappoint, we are entering a natural habitat where sightings are common, but it is NOT GUARANTEED.

Kawa Kawa, located about 112km northeast of Kota Kinabalu, is accessible in an hour and a half by land. Situated at Kota Belud and surrounded by paddy fields and mangrove forests, the quaint little village of Kawa Kawa is enchanting at first sight. Sungai Tempasuk thrives along Kawa Kawa’s mangrove habitat forming an enticing playground for the Proboscis Monkeys, who swing on the high branches of the trees.  This natural oasis, little touched by men and commercial tourism, has not lost its primitive wildness, and is best suited for nature and wildlife lovers.

Here is your best chance to capture shots of the moving animals in the wild. Don’t forget your binoculars and your cameras!
