Cruising on the Kinabatangen River


Sunset on the Kinabatagen river
So expedition over and back on the road, jetting across to the other side of Sabah to spend a couple of nights by the Kinabatagen river.







Monkey





Morning and evening boat cruises allowed us to see a variety of different monkeys as they sleep in the open trees by the river bank.

We were also fortunate to see a wild orangutan who was covering his head with leaves to keep the rain off.

Ruddy kingfisher
There were a number of kingfishers, but far bigger than your common British ones. The highlight of the trip was the night walk where a civet cat came prowling to within a couple of metres of us.
