The Kinabatangan River snakes through Sabah’s lowlands for 560 kilometres to reach the Sulu Sea.

Along its length a mosaic of riparian forest, oxbow lakes, nipah swamp and mangroves supports orang-utan, proboscis monkey and pygmy elephant, while a vast array of birdlife includes several species of hornbill. From Sandakan a four-hour boat trip leads inland to Sukau, where a trip by small boat on a quiet tributary through the tangled rainforest reveals its splendid wildlife, much of which has grown surprisingly tolerant of human presence.
