Day 15 – Sukau – Lahad Datu – Tabin Wildlife Reserve

Check into the charming timber bungalow of Tabin Wildlife Resort, which comes complete with private balcony and hot water shower, a real luxury in the forest. The resort is set in the rainforest alongside the Lipad River and a variety of birds, insects and even small mammals can be sighted quite easily in the vicinity. Discover the rich variety of jungle herbs, some endemic, used for generations by local folks for the treatment of various ailments. In the afternoon embark on a short trek through the jungle for twenty minutes arriving at an elevated bare area – the Lipad mud volcano. This feature also serves as a mineral salt lick for wildlife as evidenced by the multitude of animal footprints here. After dinner, enjoy a slide presentation on Tabin’s uniqueness, followed by a Night Safari to look out for nocturnal wildlife and birds.
