• Osman's Homestay
  "Homestay at its best...unforgettable experience!"
  "This is a homestay so the accommodation is basic! It is however a great way to spend time with a local family, experience their culture and relax in the jungle by the river. Osman is an incredible spotter out on the river and in the jungle. Probably the best wildlife experience I have had so far!..." Pygmy elephants within hands-reach, wild orangutans, crocodiles, proboscis monkeys and a whole load of other macaque species! An added bonus on my second night as the pygmy elephants decided to wander through Osman's garden...elephant spotting from your bedroom! I stayed here for 3 days 2 nights and even without running water or electricity on the first night due to broken power lines from a storm, I hope to return sometime soon. I highly recommend using Osman as a guide even if staying at other (high-end) accommodation. Sadly it does appear that the oil palm plantations are encroaching on this last remaining piece of jungle as well! " More >
• Kinabatangan Riverside Lodge
  "Fantastic trip to the Kinabatangan River"
  "Just back from 3d/2n trip with friends to the Kinbatangan River. SI tours arranged all and were excellent all round - super organised and efficient with a superb guide, Yahya. SI tours own and operate the Abai River Lodge (night 1) and Kinbatangan Rover Lodge (night 2). At Abai this is the only lo..."dge but at Sukau there are quite a few - reading some of the other reviews I can hardly believe that we were staying in the same place. Sukau is quite a bit busier with the connecting road - so we preferred Abai which is only accessible by boat, but both were very good. These are remote areas with limited resources so it's not your city 4* hotel but we thought they were great. Super clean, hot water, comfy beds and for us the food was very good (although breakfast is probably the most disappointing). Staff throughout were great - very helpful and wanting to ensure your stay was a good one. Boats (all SI tours) were fantastic and very safe - and we had 3 kids. With the help of our guide w...

• Melapi Lodge Sukau
  "Safe and superb"
  "The Lodge is gorgeous, quiet, and welcoming up river and on the opposite side of the river from Sukau. If you are concerned about the travel warnings for Sabah, I urge you to reconsider any plans on canceling a trip to Kinabatangan river. The communities are 100's of miles inland from where there..." was trouble with the Philippines early in the spring. The lack of tourist make it an ideal time to visit for personalized service, no boat jams for animal viewing, and peace. The wildlife is magnificent as well. We saw over 30 species of exotic birds, crocodiles, pythons, orangutans, long-tailed macaques, silver leaf monkeys, proboscis monkeys and had a morning with the cutest animal in the world, the Pygmy Elephant. The staff here went above and beyond the norm to help us go many miles aup river to find the herd. We stayed here as well as at the simpler and very basic Greenview Lodge in Sukau. The rooms and food here were first rate and our balcony overlooking the river well protect... " More >
