Overview
Danum Valley Conservation Area (DVCA) is a Class 1 (Protection) Forest Reserve and one of Sabah's largest protected areas of undisturbed lowland rainforest. Due to its abundance and richness of flora and fauna, DVCA is a great location for eco-tourism, research, and environmental education. During this tour, we will be doing morning, afternoon and evening walks to try to spot wildlife at different times of the day.
