Meet and greet at the Lahad Datu airport and enjoy an exciting 1.5 hrs overland journey along gravel road to Tabin Wildlife Reserve. Check into a charming timber bungalow, which comes complete with private balcony and hot water shower amongst the forest.

In the afternoon, visit the Lipad mud volcano, which serves as a mineral salt lick for wildlife. After trekking through the jungle for twenty minutes, arrive at the elevated bare area of the mud volcano. Try to identify the multitude of animal footprints here. Those adventurous can experiment the effect of the volcanic mud said to be responsible for fine complexion. Walk up the observation tower and admire the contrasting landscape of the bare area and its surrounding thick forest where birds are commonly sighted.

After dinner, enjoy a slide presentation on Tabin’s uniqueness followed by a trip to look out for nocturnal wildlife and birds, communing with nature in the dark & dense expanse of the forest beneath the star-studded sky. Overnight
