These past couple of days, our in-house guide Adam .sal13h swapped his boat on the Kinabatangan river for a safari vehicle in Deramakot Forest Reserve, leading to incredible encounters with both a clouded leopard and a large male elephant. Whilst clouded leopard sightings are rare, Deramakot Forest Reserve remains the best place to try to see one whilst in Borneo!

Hornbill Lodge is only a few hours drive from some of Sabah's other incredible forest reserves and we recommend you check them out whilst you're here! Just email [email protected] to talk about your options ๐Ÿ’š

It's great to see our grassland for Borneo's elephants being used in the way we intended it, as a safe place for elephants to rest and recharge on their travels along the Kinabatangan river. Formerly a football field, this land has now been planted with napier & berau grass, some of the elephants favourite foods, and they seem to be giving it a big trunks up! ๐Ÿ˜

Big thanks to BBORA - Bringing Back Our Rare Animals for their valuable advice & time helping us set up this project!
