discovered “Borneon Pgymy Elephants”. Though elephants and
larger animals come and go-herd often break up to get through to
plantations encroaching many areas.
Bird lovers will find the bird-watching incredible: all 8 of
Borneo’s hornbill
species are seen regularly. Occasionally, two species of the
gorgeous pitas can be spotted, as well as the Storm’s stork
and the bizarre Oriental darter or ‘Snake Bird’ in any short
trek can be sight.
The lodge is located out of the normal tourist route and has been built
by using a recycle wood and placed out of the tourist route in
order to enjoy the surrounding nature and to minimize the
impact.
