The animals: monkeys are so friendly. I highly recommend this place, it's a home away from home.

#kotakinabalutrip Okay, real talk: I thought I knew what "jungle" meant... until I spent 3 days in **Deramakot Forest Reserve**. This place is like *Jurassic Park* minus the dinosaurs (but with equally epic creatures). Here’s why this hidden gem in Sabah needs to be on your radar! --- ### **First Impressions: "Wait, Where’s the WiFi?"** After a **bumpy 4WD ride** (RIP my lower back), we arrived in the middle of **nowhere-but-in-a-good-way**. The air smelled like damp earth and adventure, the trees were *stupid* tall, and the only "notification sounds" were gibbons whooping at sunset. 📶❌ --- ### **Night Safari: The Ultimate Jungle Party** Our first night drive had me SHOOK. Spotlights revealed: - **A leopard cat** judging us from a branch - **Pygmy elephants** (!!) snacking on palms - **Slow lorises** with those creepy-cute anime eyes 👀 Then... **BAM**—our jeep got "attacked" by a flying squirrel. 10/10 drama. --- ### **Hidden Gem: The Canopy Walk at Dawn** Most visitors sleep in, but the **pre-sunrise canopy walk** was *magic*. Mist rising, hornbills flying past like living origami, and zero humans. Pro tip: Whisper. You’ll hear **orangutans** making their morning nests. --- ### **Unexpected Moment: The Leech Incident** I thought I’d escaped leeches. NOPE. Found one *inside my sock* during a hike. Cue me doing the "jungle panic dance" while my guide laughed and handed me salt. 🩹😭 --- ### **Campfire Stories & Nasi Lemak** Meals were simple but **next-level tasty** after jungle treks. Think: smoky **nasi lemak** wrapped in banana leaves, eaten under a sky so starry it looked fake. --- ### **Quick Itinerary (For Wildlife Addicts)** **🕒 3PM** – Arrive, settle into basic-but-cozy lodge **🌆 6PM** – Sunset drive (look for elephants!) **🌙 8PM** – Night safari + leech checks **🌅 5AM** – Canopy walk (worth the alarm) **🐒 9AM** – Post-breakfast trek (listen for orangutans) --- ### **Survival Tips:** - Pack **leech socks** (trust me) - Bring **battery packs** (limited electricity) - **Lower expectations** for amenities—you’re here for nature’s 5-star show! **Verdict:** Would I do it again? Absolutely. Would I pack *more salt*? **100%.** **Who’s brave enough to join me next time? 👇** *(P.S. Shoutout to our guide who spotted 90% of the animals while I was like "WHERE? I SEE LEAVES!")* 🌿🔍

#kotakinabalutrip Stepping into Maliau Basin felt like discovering a secret planet—the air was thick with the earthy scent of ancient rainforest, and the only sounds were buzzing insects and distant bird calls. Towering dipterocarp trees formed a green cathedral above us, their roots twisting like nature’s staircases. The *holy-cow moment*? Reaching **Ginseng Falls** after a sweaty hike and plunging into its icy pool—instant refreshment! (Pro tip: Watch out for cheeky squirrels eyeing your trail mix. 🐿️) **Hidden gem:** The **cloud forest** at the basin’s rim—a mystical landscape of stunted trees covered in fuzzy moss. Straight out of a fairy tale! **Fuel up:** Pack **bamboo chicken**—local style grilled chicken wrapped in bamboo leaves—for the ultimate jungle picnic. **Quick Itinerary:** ⏰ **7 AM:** Start trekking (beat the heat!) ⏰ **10 AM:** Swim at Ginseng Falls ⏰ **1 PM:** Lunch with a canopy view ⏰ **3 PM:** Explore the cloud forest **Essential gear:** Leech socks (trust me), waterproof bag, and a sense of adventure! This untouched paradise will make you feel like an explorer—just don’t forget your camera! 📸

#myhiddengems We went to Dermakot Forest Reserve for 4 nights, it was amazing! I can recommend it to everyone!! - the rooms are very clean, basic but perfect. You even have airco, hot shower and power all day. - the food, it was just amazing! We enjoyed every meal we got, so tastefull and well prepared. For the safari's, it is really nice you can choose how to spend the driving time each day and what to do. The driver did really good although the roads are pretty bumpy! Our guide, Lister, I think everyone should ask for him while booking. He spotted alot of animals!! Even the smallest during night, I really don't know how he does it, but it's great!

That Nice Aplikasi
