Walk on the wild side

Where can one get up close and personal with gibbons, orang utans, sambar deer and pygmy elephants in their natural habitat? LEONG SIOK HUI enjoys a wildlife safari at Sabah’s Danum Valley Conservation Area. 

SPOTTING wildlife in Taman Negara is like striking a 4D lottery – you’ve got to be really lucky. But in the 438 sq km Danum Valley, Sabah – where I spent three days at the Borneo Rainforest Lodge there – you don’t even have to budge from your chalet to spot the occasional rhinoceros hornbill or sambar deer.
