Tabin Wildlife Reserve, Sabah, Malaysia
4.0 (148 reviews) Spent More than 3 hours Ranking #2 in Lahad Datu Nature & Wildlife Areas
The Resort is a gem in the jungle
The setting of lodging units is simply unexpectedly picturesque and comfortable beyond you can imagine right in the middle of the jungle. Both lodging units, along the riverbank and along the terrain of the hill, are on a beautiful setting with a balcony in each unit. The river bank units is more suitable for the seniors and the hillside lodges are good for those energetic young lads. The food catered in the restaurant is a five stars standard, it is better than many resorts in the wild and on certain islands in the state. The staffs are very friendly and the rangers are knowledgeable and helpful. On this promotion rate, it is really a value for your dollar!

Quite and peaceful experience of Borneo's wildlife
Stayed at Tabin Wildlife Reserve for 4D/3N in a river lodge. The room was comfortable and had a great view of the forest and river. The lodge was very peaceful and it was easy to relax between outings into the jungle. The itinerary had a good mix of walking and vehicle based activities. Our guide was Oliver and he was amazing! Full of knowledge about the wildlife and environment and always whistling a bird call. He had the skill I highly respect in any wildlife guide... a willingness to admit when he didn't know something and come back with the answer later. If possible I would recommend doing the long itinerary - we came across other guests on 1 or 2 night packages that seemed disappointed in the rate of sightings. Yet, after 4 days we were very pleased with what we were able to see at Tabin. When it comes to wildlife it is the luck of the draw but more time in the jungle does help.

Peaceful experience
Off season and we almost had Tabin to ourselves. The Staff were amazing and provided us with the most excellent meals although way more than we could eat. The wildlife, gibbons, Macaques, rhino Hornbills, to name a few, were easily viewed in the trees surrounding the restaurant. Our guide Maui made sure that we got the best out of the excursions out into the forest and we were able observe a wide range of wildlife including an Orangutan and her baby preparing for their evening's rest. An excellent experience. Thankyou.
