since the island of Borneo, especially for its species diversity is known, we decided a "Wild Life Tour & Stay" to book with Uncle Tams in the area of the Kinabatangan River in simple Wildlife Camp. Together with Benn, we arrived around noon in the office of Uncle Tam's and have been for a local lunch (that is always rice and Vegetables down) to the pier in the vicinity of Sukau. From there it went to the small boats in the middle of nowhere (well, in the jungle) nearby camp. The journey was a real river safari, we saw iguanas, macaque monkeys and some small crocodiles. From a distance we could admire and even the first Nashornvoegel which are significant for this area is very typical. Once in camp, we obtained the simple wooden crates, after all, equipped with mosquito net and mattress on the floor, and had even more luck. As the camp was well overbooked, we could not (!) Find no place in the 6-person cabins and more have been in the room to the bedroom converted 
dislodged office of the Chief - Three of them. Much better and with 4 walls. Shortly after the camp appeared to also have some funny-looking bearded wild boars, which ran about for a while, looking for food. We headed to the local dinner on our first adventure, a river safari at night. Since it is quite dark, of course, you need a very good guide that we got even with Lan. He really discovered every little frog at 50 m distance, mocked every little sleeping bird on any of these branches. The highlights were definitely a huge owl, which we could go very close approach, a whole horde peeing Santander macaque monkeys, a sleeping Monitor Lizard on a tree branch and two in the distance across dangerous crocodile bright yellow eyes, but quickly dives, as we approached. Completely tired, we trudged the long, muddy path in the middle of the night back to the camp and tried against 23 clock at a auesserst sonorous Dschungelgeraeuschkulisse some sleep to get, because the next morning was at 6:30 clock, even before breakfast, the next River Safari at. Because wildlife can be seen most Early morning or late afternoon, as we have learned. So we tortured us readily swollen by our mattresses and we went off to boot. This time we saw again a lot of macaque monkeys, and especially a number Nashornvoegel from a distance. Distance does not matter, because the big horn on its nose (as the name implies), is really its own characteristic Characteristic and to marvel in the flyby. A highlight of this time was a pack of golden monkeys, which had settled comfortably in a tree crown, also called the Proboscis Monkey. This species is really very rare and occurs only in Borneo. They are very fun to watch, for not only its huge nose is bright red. On the way back to camp we saw even a group of beavers who amused themselves on 
a sand bank and driving past us in the boat eyed curiosity. With empty stomachs, we trudged their way back to camp and took a fortifying French Toast breakfast included us, and learned that another group, even a wild orang utan could find in a tree. Not that we would have once had a break no. Immediately after the breakfast included, it went on foot to the insect world and of course in the mud around the town. At this point: thanks dad for the hiking boots! So we fought our brave through the marshy hinterland of the camps and by the often bizarre-looking nature. Again it we had a brilliant guide who was next to a Tausendfuessler its second-smallest frog in the world between the tree trunks. This is not even as big as a fingernail, but can jump over 1 m wide. Our absolute favorite was the cotton-bug, which, as its name suggests, really like a little piece of running Bamwolle crawls by aligning bubbles and in snow white. Past giant trees we were close to reaching the Camps have been attacked by a screaming horde of macaques, whose territory we had not considered obvious, but our guide suggested she bravely on the run. You remember: arm quickly screaming macaques with a stick. After lunch we have had the hot afternoon, time to rest, because that's what the animals do too and are not to see anyway. A 
again stood against 17 clock now at a final River Safari. Same river, same animals, and now a rather sagging buttocks .... The night hike to explore the insects (especially spiders, you know how I like it) and frog World of Borneo through the mud we left for the benefit of some cans of beer with two Scottish Oelplattformarbeitern he prefers from ... and we were right, because when everyone else just marched on foot through the jungle, there was a strong downpour - and we sat in the dry. Haha. Later in the evening joined some of the guides with a guitar to us and the old classics have been out of there. Just as our food remains from the Muellbeuteln some Civit cats, a Wildkatzenart, while we trellerten happy songs ... The evening ended rather late and then after we had again raised interesting noise, and compared to the mattresses, we went to the breakfast included directly back to the pier. A final Monitor Lizard on the way back we wank goodbye before we hop on the minibus were shipped to the office. Now only another 6 hour bus ride followed to civilization, the capital of Sabah.
