The wildlife viewing opportunities on the Kinabatangan are incredible, but there's no escaping that the number of animals you see on the Kinabatangan river tour is the result of the huge level of deforestation, which has sadly pushed them into a very narrow corridor surrounding the river.
For a slightly more 'natural' environment, I would highly recommend a couple of days at the Borneo Rainforest Lodge in Danum Valley. It's very pricey, and there are no guarantees of animal sightings, but for us it was a wonderful experience in the heart of the rainforest. It really is luxurious as well, considering they're a 2hr drive over logging roads from the nearest town.

This place is great and certainly THE thing to do here. We were at the morning feeding and got to see plenty of Orangutans. It was worth it to see them playing together.
The only thing I think that would improve this is to have more information on future projects and more staff around to explain what the project means etc. We did feel we were ambling around a little bit and the security people who were there didn't really seem to know much about the projects when we asked.
Definitely worth going though and for a good cause as well.
