"After much research I booked Tanjung Bulat Camp due to its isolation and its reviews listing wildlife sightings and its reasonable prices and I was 100% delighted with my decision. I stayed for 5 nights and will certainly be returning for 7 next year!
Email communication with Afiq prior to arrival was excellent with all my questions answered rapidly and helpfully.
The journey to the camp by minibus, boat, hike and boat went very smoothly and the location of the camp itself is totally idyllic on the river and jungle edge. Our room was large and the bed was comfortable. As a corner room we had a cross breeze from the windows and we appreciated the fan in the evening and made use of the power while it was on. Flushing western toilets were a real bonus and it was fun hand washing at the sinks out in the open. The bucket shower was very welcome at the end of the day.
The chef managed some delicious vegetarian options for my son and myself which were really appreciated, as was the all day complimentary tea, coffee and water.
Jai was our absolutely tireless and enthusiastic guide and we thoroughly enjoyed every trip that we did with him. His knowledge seemed endless and his ability to spot wildlife for us was incredible.
And the wildlife……..::we were so so lucky! Or maybe it is always that good? We had a daily visit to the fruiting tree by the camp of an Orang Utan. Two visits to the camp by a gibbon. Evening visits by a group of Malay civet. Daily monitor lizards walking by. Hornbills regularly flying overhead and also roosting on the night walk. A slow loris and a colugo on the same night walk. Proboscis monkeys, silver langur with orange babies, maroon/red langur, crocodile, kingfishers, eagles, owls, heron, datter, bats, pig tail and long tail macaques, snakes, and many other birds and insects…….everything that we’d hoped for and more!
And never any other boats or tourists on our side spur of the main Kinabatangan river and no other buildings either. Perfect!
I would 100% recommend Tanjung Bulat Camp for wildlife enthusiasts that don’t need WiFi or 24/7 power or en suite bathrooms or hot showers, but enjoy good food and excellent service and knowledgeable guiding and the company of similar minded people!"
