For anyone going to Tanjung Datu National Park over the next few months please note there is significant construction work going on at the park HQ. Upon arrival it can be a bit of shock for visitors to see such devastation and land cleaning within a national park. We are not aware of any official announcement from the park agency about this activity. Apparently, a telecommunication tower is under construction. Visitors should expect some construction noise and less wildlife sightings near the park HQ over the next few months.
