@seeksophie: Most people think wildlife safaris cost thousands. But did you know that there’s a safari in Borneo where you can spot orangutans, pygmy elephants and crocodiles for $200? This is the Kinabatangan River — one of Asia’s best wildlife destinations, where a 150-million-year-old rainforest has become a refuge for wildlife. For around $200, you’ll spend 2-3 days staying at a river lodge and going on river safaris to spot them in the wild. The best part is that your visit helps protect this forest. Wildlife tourism gives local communities a reason to keep the rainforest standing instead of losing it to further development. ✨ Seek Sophie Tip: June–August is one of the best times to visit, because that’s when the fruiting trees attract even more wildlife to the riverbanks. It does get busy though, so we highly recommend staying at a lodge that’s away from the main stretch of river, for a quieter, more intimate experience. If you’ve always dreamed of going on safari that doesn’t break the bank, check out our @seeksophie Kinabatangan River Safaris. Link in bio.
