Tabin Wildlife Resort is a budget accommodation option in the stunning Tabin wildlife reserve.
Expect clean and simple accommodation in chalets and bungalows while you trek, hike, climb and sail through the spectacular surrounding rainforests.
In eastern Sabah, the Tabin wildlife reserve is full of fascinating wildlife species, including the Borneo pygmy elephant, the Sumatran Rhino, and the tembadau. This area is terrific for birding, night safaris, and jungle trekking.

In Our Travellers’ Words
Temples, Volcanoes and Dragons of Indonesia
A 16 night family holiday with 2 teenage boys. We did enough cultural visits to keep mum happy but with volcano visit, swimming pools, Komodo dragons, snorkelling and seeing Manta rays the boys had a fantastically diverse holiday.
I have used Experience Travel Group three times now and would highly recommend them.
Borneo Wildlife Adventure
Two weeks exploring areas of Sarawak & Sabah. Orangutans building nests, elephants swimming, hornbills flapping, insects galore and much more. Good food too. ETG listen to you and tailor a trip to your needs. Their on the ground support provided great communication and were so good when things don't quite go to plan.
ETG perfectly arranged a complicated itinerary taking the stress away
1 week in Cambodia followed by 3 weeks in Vietnam involving numerous flights transfers tours and hotels which exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended to anyone who wants a well organised itinerary.
