Whilst more commonly seen along the river banks a chance encounter on a forest road is always just that little bit more special. Especially a private viewing

They said it could never happen but departing Deramakot, Sharon, Jean P and friends, whilst being treated to a mother and infant orangutan on world clouded leopard day this magnificent beast wandered out on the road. Remarkable timing.

The last few weeks has produced a number of Clouded leopard sightings but this is the first during the day for a while.

Our guests were happily observing an Orangutan and this big fella decided that he wanted some attention too.

Thanks for the picture Jean-Philippe Lamothe

Outstanding wildlife spotting
Deramakot is all about the wildlife, as the accommodation is just a forestry department facility, and not geared for tourism. So we went there for the animals, and we got them in abundance. At one point we saw 11 orang utans in a 90 minute period, during which time we also watched 21 Elephants grazing on the road less than 100m away. We also sae a reticulated python, Leopard Cats, various civet species, a spotted cat snake, lots of cool frogs, a couple of slow loris, many beautful bird species (our fave's being rhinoceros hornbill and Blythe's Paradise Flycatcher), heaps of insects and butterflies, a moonrat, flying squirrels, colugo, and many other awesome animals. Our spotter Mike was absolutely world class and saw things that we couldn't understand how he spotted. He is the best wildlife spotter we've used anywhere in the world. And Alternative Adventures Borneo put together a really good package for us, right across Sabah, with Deramakot being the highlight. It was also good to see that there is a workable version of sustainable logging. Although the tallest dipterocarps have been removed (meaning the forest is not as impressive as Danum Valley), the biodiversity was outstanding, and the forest was amazing except for the canopy. It's worthwhile making the effort to get to Deramakot if you are after serious wildlife watching.
