Danum Valley: Pristine Jungle Wilderness and Rare Wildlife Encounters

Spanning 43 square kilometers, the Danum Valley Conservation Area was established to shield this remote rainforest from the impact of logging. A two-hour drive from Lahad Datu, this untouched expanse of jungle feels worlds away from civilization, offering a serene, immersive escape into nature.

From canopy-level viewpoints, the surrounding landscape of thick jungle and rugged mountains extends as far as the eye can see, creating a sense of total seclusion.

Wildlife Encounters in the Treetops

A haven for biodiversity, Danum Valley is home to a dazzling array of birds and wildlife. Visitors may catch glimpses of orangutans, gibbons, red leaf monkeys, macaques, pygmy elephants, and even elusive species like wild cats and the rare clouded leopard. The canopy walkway allows you to observe the forest’s wildlife-rich upper levels, where many animals spend most of their lives.

Jungle Trails and Cultural Sites

Danum Valley also offers a range of jungle hikes, including a rewarding trek to a scenic viewpoint that passes the historic Coffin Cliff — a centuries-old burial site of the Kadazan Dusun people, offering both natural beauty and cultural intrigue.
