Review of the 3-day Tanjung Bulat Jungle Camp tour near Sandakan, with wildlife cruises, jungle walks, local food, costs, comfort, and practical tips.

“My partner and I had an amazing stay at Tanjung Bulat Jungle Camp. The camp is in protected secondary forest and far away from the nearest village which makes it a great place for wildlife.
