Along the Kinabatangan river, near Sukau, the narrow corridor of riverine forest is one of the best places to view wildlife in Southeast Asia. The area is surrounded by oil palm plantations which have replaced most of the original flora, creating quite a density of wildlife in the bit that remains. This is one of the few places where proboscis monkeys, with their strange elongated noses, can be frequently spotted. Unfortunately, photos were difficult with low lighting and animals high up in the trees.

We stayed at Borneo Eco-tours Sukau Rainforest Eco-lodge, which we liked quite a bit. Though the accomodations are simple, we found the staff friendly and appreciated their efforts towards conservation.
