Borneo Natural Sukau Bilit Resort sits along the Kinabatangan River in Sabah, surrounded by dense rainforest teeming with wildlife. The eco-lodge offers simple but comfortable wooden chalets and guided river cruises where you can spot proboscis monkeys, hornbills, and sometimes pygmy elephants. The natural setting and warm hospitality make it a favorite among nature enthusiasts.

Meals are included with most stays, and evenings are peaceful, filled with the sounds of the jungle. It’s best to book a package that includes both morning and sunset cruises for the best chance to see wildlife along the riverbanks.

When we booked it, they also provided a pick-up and drop-off service from our previous accommodations or the airport.
