These unique animals are great fun to observe and learn about-te center is great for getting up close and seeing their social structure and habits. Then get out and see them in the wild if you have time to take a cruise on the Kinabatangan River. Both are a bit of a drive from Sandakan but well worth it -... more

A perfect end to our week in Borneo, we had a great day here, getting real up close with the Proboscis monkeys & Langurs & Macaques. Did it in a day trip from Sepilok RM 200 each with drop off back to airport & private guide who went when we wanted to! One of our trip highlights! more

We chose this over Sepilok as we didn't have time to do both. However there are two afternoon feeding times - 2.30 and 4.30 (in addition to the morning slots) and as this sanctuary is only 20km north of Sepilok you could easily do both in one day. We hired a taxi for 130 MYR and then he wanted an... more

We made special arrangements to go here as it is not offered on many tours and were not dissapointed. How long will this place stay a secret I wonder? There is now a good road giving access from Sandakan in about 45min-1hour and it is well worth the trip and about £10 entrance. It is a stark contrast to Sepilok... more

Bit of a drive out of Sandakan (about 45 mins depending on traffic) but very worthwhile. Lots of monkeys of various types (althought the proboscis is the main attraction), very easy to see. Some are friendly & will come up to you. If like me, you were disappointed with Sepilok due to the crowds and lack of monkeys, you will... more

We went for a day trip to LB and were delighted. There was plenty of room on the viewing platforms as there weren't too many guests. Our guide was very knowledeable about the monkeys and made for a good educational experience for our 6 and 9 yo. We stayed for both the early feeding and the afternoon feeding. In bewteen... more

We stayed overnight  early May 2009 in the new accomondation called Niah Lodge which is built above the mangrove swamps.Very quiet as the normal throngs of onlookers have not found this place yet which is great as we had two viewings of the prboscus monkeys had plenty of room and very close proximity to the monkees.Daniel our quide was amazing... more

This sanctuary is part of a palm tree plantation. Its so off the beaten track that our driver had trouble finding his way out. Feeding time here is around 11am. The proboscis monkeys are interesting to watch and as you standing in an open lodge, its much cooler than at Sepilok where you are standing at a platform in the... more

Well, as much as I want to keep this place a secret,, to keep the crowds out as they are now, the place really deserves a few more visitors. I am mad about Orangutans, and travelled over Sabah to see them, and also got to see the Proboscis monkeys along the Kinabatangan river last Sept 2008, but this place amazed... more
