Day 1 Lahad Datu / Tabin Wildlife Reserve (Lunch /Dinner)
Transfer from Lahad Datu to Tabin Wildlife Reserve on gravel road.
Journey to this largest wildlife reserve in Malaysia takes about 1 hour.
Tabin was declared a wildlife reserve because of the large numbers of
animal species inhabiting its forest, including several which are highly
endangered. With a protected forest area of 120,500 hectres, Tabin plays
an important role as a dedicated ground for the breeding of endangered
wildlife and protected mammals in Sabah. It is perhaps most notable as
the last major stronghold of the Sumatra Rhinoceros on Borneo. In the
core area visitors have the opportunity to walk through primary dipterocarp
rainforest, and also easily spot wildlife such as orang utans and pygmy
elephants. In the afternoon, visit the Lipad mud volcano which serves
as a mineral salt lick for wildlife. After trekking through the jungle
for twenty minutes, arrive at the elevated bare area of the mud volcano
known to be frequented by deers, bearded pigs, elephants and birds. Try
to identify the multitude of animal footprints here. Those adventurous
can experiment the effect of the volcanic mud said to be responsible for
fine complexion. Walk up the observation tower and admire the contrasting
landscape of the bare mud volcano area and its surrounding thick forest
where birds are commonly sighted. After dinner, enjoy a slide presentation
on Tabin's uniqueness, followed by a trip to look out for nocturnal wildlife
and birds. Overnight at Tabin.
