About Tabin Wildlife Reserve

Discover the wild heart of Borneo within Tabin Wildlife Reserve, Sabah's largest protected area, spanning over 122,000 hectares of rich lowland rainforest. Established in 1984, Tabin is a vital sanctuary dedicated to conserving Malaysia's diverse and endangered wildlife.

The reserve is particularly famous for the mineral-rich Lipad Mud Volcano, which acts as a natural salt lick, drawing a variety of animals from the surrounding forest. This makes Tabin an exceptional location for observing wildlife, including the iconic Borneo Pygmy Elephant, Tembadau (Banteng), various primate species, elusive wild cats, and hundreds of bird species in their natural habitat.

Visiting Tabin offers a unique opportunity to experience a pristine jungle environment, learn about crucial conservation efforts, and witness the incredible biodiversity that makes Borneo so special.
