1.Borneo Wildlife Tour 3 Days 2 Nights At Tanjung Bulat Jungle Camp Kinabatangan

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 100 reviews · from $270Our pick

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. Orangutans visited the camp on each of the three days we were there. We also saw civets, owls, monitor lizards and flying lemurs around the camp. In the surrounding forest, we saw gibbons, proboscis monkeys, langurs, crocs and more. Jai and the team were great fun and very knowledgeable. And it was awesome to see that they were almost as excited by the wildlife as we were. I'd be surprised to find a better lodge…”

“The place was beautiful and the river cruises were a great experience. Food was amazing! Dorm rooms were nice. 6 hours of dead space in the day but it is a good place to be. You have to pay for wifi? And anything extra is paid for, night walk or cruise, elephant cruise, tree planting is all money on top of price which we didn’t expect or budget for”

“I booked with u all the time but very unhappy this time. There are 2 tours to semenggoh in the website. I choosed the more expensive one as it was 2 hrs (love to spend max time with orang utan) and the other one 1 HR. On arrival was told all entry are controlled to 1 HR. Felt cheated and want a REFUND.”
