Good local guide, we saw a lot of animal during our river cruise
Very enoyable. A long drive in a taxi but the roads are good. Chucked it down on the river which kept the mosquitoes away but probably the pygmy elephants too.
Wonderful Kinabatagan river tour. Lots of probiscus monkeys, crocodiles and saw some hornbills and other wildlife. Interesting experience.
