Monkey Safari In Borneo

By Jonny Blair


When you decide to head to Sabah, which is a Malaysian part of Borneo you will be sure to hear about the Proboscis monkeys and want to visit them and see them live in the jungle. This is the only place you can see them in their native habitat in the world so it is worth doing.

How to organise watching Proboscis Monkeys in Borneo.

There are lots of companies offering these types of tours in Borneo so it will be easy enough to organise. If you are a really tight budget backpacker then you could realistically hitchhike or hire a car and drive out to Beaufort Town yourself then try to blag onto one of the boats that take you to where the proboscis monkeys are. I really don't recommend it.

How much does watching Proboscis Monkeys in Borneo cost?

Generally it is around 60 Ringitts. This cost also included the fireflies, the transport to and from the hostel, the boats, afternoon tea and a full dinner. We also ate our breakfast at the hostel that day (included in our hostel price) but as it's all you can eat you can get by without eating anything else that day - the afternoon tea and evening dinner is enough.

What is the best way to get to the Monkey Park? How can we get out there?

We were picked up at our hostel at 2pm in Kota Kinabalu, driven to a place called Beaufort Town which houses Klias Wetland Park. It was inside a small mini-bus.

The trip price should include the transport which makes it all easy enough to organise. In general it's not too difficult and can be suitable for adults, pensioners and children. Most people love it!

You will see other types of monkeys without the long noses such as this one. It's not a proboscis monkey.

They are wild monkeys with long noses and long tails they live in the jungle. You will see them hanging from trees, sitting on trees and swinging from tree to tree. It's all exactly as you imagined monkey life to be. This is a well recommended trip. There are also crocodiles so stay alert and have your cameras ready to catch them in action.
