Overview

Tabin was declared a wildlife reserve because of the large number of animal species inhabiting its forest, including several which are highly endangered. With a protected forest area of 120,500ha, Tabin plays an important role as a dedicated ground for the breeding of Sabah’s endangered wildlife and protected mammals. Here, you’ll get a taste of nature like nowhere else. It is no wonder that Tabin has been heralded as the finest wildlife viewing area in Borneo.

Itinerary

  • Meet and greet at the Lahad Datu airport and enjoy an exciting 1.5 hrs overland journey along gravel road to Tabin Wildlife Reserve. Check into a charming timber bungalow, which comes complete with private balcony and hot water shower amongst the forest.

  • In the afternoon, visit the Lipad mud volcano, which serves as a mineral salt lick for wildlife. After trekking through the jungle for twenty minutes, arrive at the elevated bare area of the mud volcano. Try to identify the multitude of animal footprints here. Those adventurous can experiment the effect of the volcanic mud said to be responsible for fine complexion. Walk up the observation tower and admire the contrasting landscape of the bare area and its surrounding thick forest where birds are commonly sighted.

  • After dinner, enjoy a slide presentation on Tabinu2019s uniqueness followed by a trip to look out for nocturnal wildlife and birds, communing with nature in the dark & dense expanse of the forest beneath the star-studded sky. Overnight

  • Go for a morning bird walk. This will be an unforgettable one as Tabin has a rich collection of around 300 species of birds. After breakfast, trek through the lush green jungle known for its rich diversity of plants and animal species. Visit Lipadu2019s Waterfall. Take a dip in the natural pool and enjoy the refreshing splash coming down from the waterfall. Alternatively explore the surrounding vegetation or just relax and enjoy the natural surroundings.

  • In the afternoon, we suggest for you to try out the Tabin Rainforest Foot Soak made with a secret blend of herbs, to relax tired muscles after long jungle treks. Overnight

  • Morning is at leisure to relax where you may spot macaques and small mammals or swimming at the nearby rock pool or in the river before your overland transfer back to Lahad Datu.
