Wildlife Trips
in Sabah
Multi-day experiences deep in Borneo’s rainforests and rivers.
Go Deeper into Borneo’s Wild
Sabah is home to some of the most biodiverse rainforest on the planet — but you need more than a day to really see it. Our wildlife trips take you beyond the accessible sites and into the places that take time to reach: ancient lowland forest, oxbow lakes at dusk, rivers where pygmy elephants drink at dawn.
Every trip is led by specialist local guides and built around maximising your wildlife encounters. Whether you're watching orangutans from a jungle lodge veranda or drifting silently downriver by night, these are the experiences you'll still be talking about years later.

What Makes a Jungalow Wildlife Trip Different
Small Group, Big Experience
Maximum 8 guests means your guide's attention is on you — not managing a crowd. Better sightings, better questions answered, better trip.
Your Trip,Your Way.
All our wildlife trips can be booked as fully private departures. Travel with your own group on your own schedule, without compromise.
Travel That Gives Back
Places Most Tours Don’t Reach.
Danum Valley, the upper Kinabatangan, remote forest lodges deep in the interior — we operate in parts of Sabah that take real local knowledge to access.
Responsible by Design. We don't bolt conservation on as an afterthought. Local guides, locally-run lodges, and a genuine commitment to the places we take you — it's how we've always operated.
What Our Guests Say
“They worked miracles, getting reservations at the hard-to-book sites and piecing together an amazing trip that stretched to a month. Their enthusiasm for Borneo, where they’ve lived for more than 20 years, is infectious, and they asked all the right questions to find out how busy we wanted our days to be, how much of the creature comforts we needed, and what places we really didn’t want to miss.”
— Margaret, U.S.A (Murug Turug, Kiau, Mt. Kinabalu, Poring, Sepilok, Kinabatangan, Danum Valley, Sipadan/Mabul)“We experienced such a great mix of activities, from visiting waterfalls and staying in local village homestays to exploring wildlife conservation centres and cruising along the Kinabatangan River. Every transition between locations was seamless, which made the whole journey stress-free and enjoyable.”
Ailsa, Scotland. (Murug Turug, Kiau Homestay, Sepilok, Kinabatanagan)
