From its setting on the Kinabatangan River, Abai Jungle Lodge enjoys a natural wilderness that’s a dream for wildlife spotting, including the proboscis monkey, orangutans, hornbills, the pygmy elephant, and a colourful array of birdlife. The stilted lodge is only accessible by boat, adding to the remote, wilderness experience. Activities here revolve around the river and the jungle, with treks and boat trips bringing you closer to the wildlife, though you can also wander the boardwalks or spend some time in the watchtowers.The 24 rooms are spread across a number of chalets with a shared veranda. Simply decorated, with overhead fans and an ensuite bathroom, the focus here is on the immersive wildlife experience rather than a luxurious stay. The restaurant is a lively, charming affair, with an open air design and honest, authentic dishes prepared from local produce and fresh fish from the village.
