Can’t help but share ’s adventure at the Kinabatangan River. ❤️


It's 7am. The jungle is waking up slowly to the distant echoes of gibbon calls across the forest canopy. Bird songs fill in the silent moments between these now familiar "whoop whoops." Staff members from your camp greet you with a welcome smile as you make your way down to the long boat for a day looking for wildlife after breakfast.

The air is thick yet sweet. Humidity already clinging to your skin. Your guide for the day greets you with his rehearsed joke for the day, sets the tone, and off you go. There is no way of knowing what today may bring.

After a few bends in the river, you spot your first exciting species. The guide shuts off his gas motor, switching to a silent electric option for a peaceful encounter.

It's a family of Proboscis Monkeys enjoying a breakfast of ripe fruit in the soft light on the rivers edge. All eyes are focused on you, curious of your intentions. Their nervous energy leads to a few displays of aggression, but once the leader feels like he's established his dominance, all go back to their morning routines.

Babies cling to their mother's studying every movement, juveniles sharpen their skills, mock fighting, and showing off their athleticism, flinging their bodies from branch to branch.

Dozens of rare birds and other forest species add to the exciting encounter, and it's not even 8am yet. This is Borneo.
