Tabin Wildlife Reserve- the latest wildlife-nature-adventure
destination in Sabah has a range of Eco-Tourism packages to cater
to the growing international demand for nature, adventure and wildlife-spotting
tourists.
Tabin
is an enormous dipterocarp rainforest landscape in the eastern part
of Sabah (120,500 hectares), Malaysian Borneo with a most diverse
range of flora and fauna. It was declared a wildlife reserve because
of the large numbers of animal species inhabiting its forest, including
several which are highly endangered. The three largest mammals of
Sabah, namely Asian Elephant, Sumatran Rhinoceros and Tembadau are
all found within Tabin. The Reserve offers an unique opportunity
to experience the unfolding excitement of adventure in a rainforest
setting.
Tabin
Wildlife Sdn Bhd the concessionaire for eco-tourism activities in
Tabin Wildllife Reserve has just completed its uniquely-designed
accommodation and visitor facilities aiming at providing a comfortable
and memorable stay to visitors while they experience the spectacular
Borneon flora and fauna. Intra Travel Service Sdn Bhd, its sister
company and sole marketing agent will be actively promoting Tabin
packages and activities to international markets.
Careful
thoughts has been given in developing Tabin as a eco-tourism destination
so that a balance for both human and nature to co-exist harmoniously
is achieved. The development is particularly mindful of the protection
and conservation of nature as a priority. All programs and activities
are designed to have minimal impact on natural resources, and the
facilities are sustainable.
Tabin
offers three unique classes of accommodation. The Tabin Chalets
(located on thick forested hills) and Tabin Lodges (built along
the flowing Lipad river) are built for the mid to up-market groups.
They feature authentic Borneo timber bungalows with private balcony
and attached bathroom using hot shower. The eco-tented-platform
(ETP in short) are tented accommodation built on raised wooden platforms
with common shower and toilet facilities. The ETP has special appeal
for hard core adventurers and student groups. Tabin has been receiving
nature-loving groups even prior to its opening. They include UK
student groups undertaking rainforest expeditions and educational
activities, bird-watching groups and honeymoon couples seeking an
"away from it all" environment.

| Activities
in Tabin |
Enjoy the enchanting concert of the animals and insects greeting
each new day. You may pick up the gibbon's call or the clear melodies
of unknown tropical birds especially in the cool, misty mornings.
Follow the clever choreography of fireflies against the silhouette
of the forest, adding a touch of mystery to the dark tropical night.
Lay down with the sky above you and take in a breath of crisp
fresh air. Be amazed by the size of the brilliant equatorial night
sky. Amongst the countless glittering stars, choose one to make
a wish upon. In Tabin the possibilities for your wish are good.
After all, Tabin itself already is a dream come true.
Relish the feeling of total disconnection from the outside
world. In Tabin, life has its own ways and pace.
Cherish the harmony of the endangered rainforest ecosystem
– the lungs of our planet. In Tabin's forest you see life
as it truly should be – wild, variable, colourful, pure, and
full of wonders!
Feel the cool, soothing river wash away the tiredness of
your body after a day of trekking, while laying in mother nature's
own Spa. Close your eyes and think how life can be wonderfully enjoyable
in its most primitive and natural form.
Walk in the friendly protection of the canopy rising to amazing
heights above you. The same canopy that provides home for countless
animal species now shelters you from the equatorial sun under its
green shadows.
Just before falling into a peaceful sleep, watch the night
sky above you and listen to the forest humming and singing its lullaby
to you.
Do a good deed. Stop and make way for the little Pil milipede
inching its way across your path.
Let the sound of the flowing water calm your mind while sitting
by the riverside rock with the dense foliage closing you into its
green depths.
Listen to the humming wings of the majestic Hornbills flying
above you to land on a bare branch for their night roost. Observe
their loving behaviour and be amazed by their tender loving care
for each other.
Trace and identify the fresh tracks of the nightly animal
visitors in search of vital minerals at the mud-volcano.
Try the natural mud-masque facial treatment from the mud
volcano. The mud is rich in minerals and is said to have a soothing
effect for your complexion, and of course it is fun too.
Appreciate the important role of Tabin as a wildlife reserve.
Surrounded by oil-palm plantations, Tabin is like a huge paradise
island providing protection and shelter for rare and endangered
wildlife while the plantations serve as a convenient provider of
food for them.
Taste the delicacies of the traditional local cuisine and
steal one or two recipes from the chef when he is in a good mood.
Feel the presence of some of the world’s most endangered
species like Sumatran Rhinoceros as Tabin is one of their last sanctuaries.
Sumatran Rhinos are extremely rare and shy, it is unlikely for you
to meet any, but you may get to know their home and habitat, and
learn more about this magnificent creature.
Escape from the stress of everyday life. Let your soul be
healed. Read a good book with the afternoon sun shinning outside,
and unknown humming of distance birds. The world becomes unbelievably
beautiful. |
