17 ways to experience the wonders of Tabin Wildlife Reserve
- 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.
