Overview
Inikea is a reforestation site around 2.5 hours away from Tawau. It is a young forest and you can see how it is already great for wildlife. It’s a great addition to your Tawau Hill Safari, where you can compare Inikea with Tawau’s primary rainforest. Over here, we will do two night-drives (weather dependent) and a morning drive to look for wildlife. We have seen binturong, clouded leopards, deers, slow loris, civets, and hornbills. However, no animal sighting is guaranteed. This trip (often a shorter version) can be booked as an add-on to your experience in the Tawau Hills.
This itinerary is customisable. Let us know at checkout if and how you'd like to personalise the itinerary.
