Sabah
The Kinabatangan: Primate Country
The Kinabatangan River is the longest in Sabah, and the village of Sukau provides access to one of the country’s best wildlife experiences.
Its tributary, the Menanggul River flows into the Kinabatangan and is a habitat for animals such as the Proboscis Monkey, Orang Utan, a multitude of bird species and the occasional Borneo Pygmy Elephant. The tributary is narrow and small boats full of eager tourists travel the river looking for wildlife.
