Borneo Wildlife Tour 2 Days 1 Night At Tanjung Bulat Jungle Camp Kinabatangan
Description
Tanjung Bulat Jungle Camp is far unique from other lodges in kinabatangan is because this jungle camp is totally own and operated by the local people come from the river people tribe. Coming to TBJC means supporting the local community product as well. Beside that TBJC also situated in a very isolated place in Kinabatangan river compare to other lodges, for example, if you go to the other part of kinabatanga river lodges, 1 monkey will be 10-15 boat watching, but in TBJC, 1 monkey only 1 boat, which is US. We also implement NO MASS TOURIST policy in our jungle camp, which means, in a moment we only allowed 10 traveler maximum to come to our simple and basic jungle camp yet special. This is because we want to give such an authentic privilege for our clients. We also, implement our conservation project called rainforest carbon offset project (tree planting), some of your money we get, we will invest it back to environment by buying tropical seedlings from the local community.

An experience truly recommended for those who want to experience the nature of the Kinabatangan. Courteous and knowledgeable staff, attentive to the guests' needs. Essential but very clean facility, with a beautiful view of the river
Nice experience alone was all very basic. Tourguide told very little about the rainforest and or the animals. He probably does the job too long and doesn't like it so much anymore. The evening walk was little. Rushing through a landscaped path so they were ready in time. Couldn't see anything because of that. Little adventure. No primal utang seen, only birds. When I went back to the resort I saw all these animals. Good nice experience but not special.
Amazing wildlife viewing opportunities, the guides were knowledgeable and friendly. The facilities were basic but decent enough for what was promised.
We choose this camp because we wanted to really experience the jungle in a very basic camp. Pick up from our hotel in sandakan was on time and we stoped in a little town for lunch. The camp is located in the middle of nowhere on the river. You will not see any other people which is exactly what we wanted. Food was good, even for a vegetarian. If you want soda etc, you need to bring your own. We slept in a room which had comfortable beds as well as a fan an mosquito nets. Bathrooms and showers were clean, except for lizards or spiders. We loved the river safari and managed to see lots of wildlife. We especially loved seeing the hornbills and kingfishers and all our questions were answered. By far the highlight was the jungle trek. We couldn’t see anything and then Jay pointed out a tarantula, which was bigger than our hands. We saw so many animals and it was a magical experience, that we will not forget. Absolute must do!
Jay and his team at the Tanjung Bulat Jungle Camp were excellent guides and host. We were booked up at our hotel and driven about two hours where we caught a boat to the camp. The camp was comfortable and clean. Soon after we arrived, we took a boat ride where we saw different species of monkeys, birds, even a crock, but no orangutan. After dinner (which was delicious), we took a nature walk around the property and saw birds, snakes, even a tarantula. During breakfast the next morning (which was excellent), Jay called us to come out back and there were a number of orangutans in the trees above the camp. It was definitely the high point of the trip. It was amazing watching them swing from tree to tree. After breakfast, we took another boat ride to another part of the river and saw more wildlife. And then we packed up and returned back to Sendekan.
Great experience, kind and helpful jay and the other guys The field is very basic but honestly I have not missed anything. We have not seen so many animals but you can not expect that every day is like the previous one in which maybe they showed up a little more; it was still beautiful and just the experience of being in the countryside with no one around. Beds all in all comfortable. Running from 6pm to 10pm then complete darkness falls. Highly recommended!
You will not meet any other tourists at this place. The people of Tanjung Bulat do everything to show you as much of nature and animals as possible! An overnight stay in the rainforest is a very special experience.
Nice experience to be in the jungle. Echt back to the basics. We did 1 night as a young family. Was doable, but also enough. Especially the night we found spicy (very hot and clammy). Beautiful nature around you during the day. People were very friendly and helpful and could tell a lot about the flora and fauna.
We booked 2 days and 1 night with my husband and it was a great experience. They picked us up from our hotel and dropped us off the next day. The guides are top, passionate and friendly. The food was good. It's a great experience to do. We did 2 boat trips and a hike at night in the jungle and we could observe monkeys, crocodiles, spiders, birds etc. We did not see elephants because there was a lot of rain and they go inland. We recommend this experience!
Generally it was great. I suggest that driver explain in detail the Tour Activities once he pick up from hotel. We were driving and we don't know what's next. In the other hand, the guys in the camping area are amazing.
