Klias Wetland, Kuala Penyu

Long nose, large belly, fireflies, Christmas tree lights, mangrove swamp and endangered species? Have you heard of them? Sounds familiar right? How about Proboscis Monkey and Dutch Monkey? Hmmn… seldom heard about them, huh? Don’t worry.. We can always visit them in Borneo, Malaysia. In Sabah itself, this species can be found in specific area particularly the area that rich with mangrove vegetation namely Kinabatangan, Klias, Garama river and Sandakan district.

Proboscis Monkey or also identified as Dutch Monkey or Long Nosed Monkey is one of the endangered monkey species that can be found in Borneo mangrove swamp. Male monkey has a long protruding nose and short nose for female. They have a large belly and reddish brown in color.

Those who are interested in visiting them, in Borneo we have plenty of agency and operator performing the tour. Apart from viewing this Proboscis Monkey, you can also view fireflies and mangrove forest. I guarantee you that you will be witnessing the most spectacular scenery. Don’t forget to bring your precious camera, binocular and wear your outdoor cloth, snickers as well as mosquito repellant because we’ll be traveling by boat.

Tempurung Seaside Lodge, Kuala Penyu

“A Mirror of Paradise”, that’s the depiction given by most tourists and the local people who visited here after experiencing their spectacular vacation in Tempurung Seaside Lodge. This awesome place located in Kuala Penyu, Sabah approx. 2 hours drive from Kota Kinabalu city centre and about 20 minutes from Klias Wetland. I will write another story regarding Klias Wetland or also known as the Proboscis Monkey’s sanctuary in my forthcoming post.

The lodge is actually sited on top of the jungle hill overlooking the South China Seas. I have to convey you this.. When I reached this place for the first time, my heart was actually stop pounding. Boy, this is… wonderful! I never seen a beach that’s so beautiful. Gosh… I’m not sure how to express my feeling but I did took some photographs which can make my story short. The picture will tell you almost everything.

Just bear in mind that, this is one of the fantastic place to visit either with your family, with friends or only the 2 of you (the loving and romantic couple). They provide accommodation, restaurant, beach front, internet, telephone, and of course some interesting activities for you. All you need to do is to check out their website for more details or might as well to book up reservation for your brief vacation. Why not check your calendar and start planning? Have a wonderful vacation!
