Start early with a morning safari drive into DVFC, one of the best times to observe wildlife like orangutans, bearded pigs, and deer.
Enjoy a packed breakfast at the DVFC Dining Hall, then embark on a mid-morning nature walk with your guide, learning about rainforest ecology, medicinal plants, and animal behaviour.
Return to INFAPRO by late morning for lunch and some downtime.
At 15:00 Hrs, head back to DVFC for an afternoon trail walk, covering new ground for additional wildlife encounters.
As twilight falls, enjoy a guided night walk, followed by a night drive for more chances to observe Danum’s hidden creatures.
Rise early for your morning safari, venturing deeper into DVFC’s rainforest trails.
This day may include visits to riverbank trails or areas near old logging roads, offering different landscapes and species.
After a packed breakfast, continue exploring until late morning, then return for lunch at INFAPRO.
The afternoon includes a slow-paced trail walk with your guide highlighting animal tracks, bird calls, and signs of forest life.
After dinner, embark once again on back-to-back night walk and drive, each evening increasing your familiarity with the nocturnal forest.
For your final full day in Danum, revisit your favourite spots or allow your guide to tailor the trails based on the week’s best sightings.
Begin with an early safari drive, then explore DVFC’s rainforest on foot, possibly encountering gibbons, orangutans, or fresh signs of Borneo pygmy elephants.
After lunch and rest at INFAPRO, enjoy your final afternoon excursion and wrap up with a last night walk and drive, savouring your final encounters under the rainforest canopy.
Begin your day with a predawn drive to Bukit Atur, where panoramic sunrise views await as the forest awakens.
