Kinabatangan river

Arrived yesterday afternoon at Abai Jungle Lodge on the kinabatangan river. Dramatic thunderstorm after lunch which cleared in time for our evening river cruise. We got to study a lot of proboscis monkeys, watching their behaviour is mesmerising. So glad we have good binoculars, letting us see all the detail of their colouring and texture. After sunset we saw hundred of fireflies. Spectacular but not easy to photograph. After dinner a guided walk on the boardwalk to see some scary insects and a red kingfisher. Early river cruise this morning, 6.30am. Saw a crocodile, more proboscis monkeys, a purple heron, buggy fish owl, hornbill, kingfisher, hawk and silver monkeys. Our last river cruise this evening before we head off to Tabin tomorrow.Read more
