MAGIC SANDAKAN

2 Days 1 Night Sandakan Wildlife Close-up

 Ex Kota Kinabalu

Borneo jungle is recognized as a place of beauty, biological diversity and hospitality. The impenetrable rainforest with its giant trees and buttressing roots harbour a bewildering diversity of strange flora and fauna. During this visit to East coast of Sabah, we see Orang Utans in Sepilok  Rehabilitation Centre and search for proboscis monkeys in Sukau.

Day 1: Kota Kinabalu- Sandakan- Sukau

This morning we fly to Sandakan (SDK) on MH3032 ETD 0905hrs. We arrive at Sandakan airport at 0955hrs. On arrival you will meet your guide and be driven to Sukau which takes about 2 hours drive. The freshwater swamp forest around Sukau is home to a myriad of wildlife like tree snakes and birds e.g. frogmouth, bulbul and hornbill. We then check in at Bilit Rainforest Lodge. Have lunch at the lodge and in the evening we go for river cruise to see Proboscis monkey and many other wildlife along the river bank.  Sukau is where you can easily see wildlife and if you are lucky you will be able to see elephants as well. Then stay overnight at the lodge. (Lunch, Dinner)

Day 2: Sukau- Sepilok- Kota Kinabalu

 After breakfast, jungle walks along the trail for bird watching. We then return by road to Sepilok Orang Utan Centre. Sepilok is home to the largest of the three Orang Utan rehabilitation centres in the world covering over 4000 hectares of forest. The centre was established in 1964 to rehabilitate captured, injured or abandoned apes. So far, about 100 “Wild men of the forest” have been brought to the centre and there has been a remarkable success with up to 75% being returned to the jungle. We plan to visit the centre in time for feeding. We then return to Sandakan airport for flight on MH3037 ETD1850hrs and arriving at Kota Kinabalu (BKI) at 1940hrs (Breakfast)
