Meine Frau und ich durften fünf unvergessliche Tage im Deramakot Rainforest Reserve verbringen. Ganz, ganz grossen Anteil an diesem grossartigen Erlebnis hatten unsere beiden Guides Terrye & Latt. (Für Infos: terrybeen72@gmail.com)
Bereits bei der Abholung am Flughafen von Sandakan bemerkten wir, dass die Chemie stimmt, war doch die Begrüssung sehr herzlich.
Die Fahrt zur Deramakot Lodge dauert rund 5 1/2 Stunden und führt teilweise über sehr holprige Strassen. Die Lodge besteht aus einem Haupthaus und einigen kleinen Nebengebäuden, sowie den „Chalets“ für die Besucher. Unser „Chalet“ besass vier Zimmer, allesamt sehr klein und spartanisch eingerichtet, jedoch mit Klimaanlage und Dusche. Das reichte jedoch völlig, waren wir doch der Natur wegen hier. Die täglichen Ausfahrten auf der Ladebrücke des Pick-up waren jedesmal ein unvergessliches Naturerlebnis. Ob früh am Morgen um fünf oder abends bis 23.00 Uhr, jedesmal zeigte uns die Natur andere Facetten. Dass wir viele der hoch in den Baumwipfel weilenden Tiere überhaupt sahen, verdanken wir unseren beiden Guides. Insbesondere Latt hatte ein enormes Wissen über Fauna und Flora. Er kennt wohl jeden Vogel auf Borneo, nur schon die Stimme zu hören genügte ihm.
Absolute Höhepunkte waren natürlich die Orang Utans, die wir beobachten durften, aber auch die Elefantenherde hat uns einen nachhaltigen Eindruck hinterlassen. Die Mahlzeiten bekamen wir jeweils im Haupthaus serviert, dreimal täglich wurde uns ein einfaches, jedoch geschmacklich wunderbares malaiisches Menu aufgetischt.
Wir können das Deramakot Rainforest Reserve nur wärmsten empfehlen, es wird für uns ein unvergessliches Erlebnis bleiben. Herzlichen Dank an unsere beiden Guides, Terrye & Latt.

Such a fantastic experience! The reserve itself is beautiful and we saw so much! A total of 19 different species on this trip! Amazing! We had wonderful views of a male flanged orang utan, the rare black flying squirrel and even rarer rough necked moniter (we saw TWO of these on the same tree!) a leopard cat, slow loris, Colugo, green broadbill, civets and much more!

The spotting truck was extremely comfortable, even on very rough roads, by far the most comfortable safari vehicle im ever been in!

Hamid, our guide was excellent and gave us so much information as well as being incredible and finding wildlife.

We really can't thank Adventures Alternative Borneo enough for organizing such an amazing experience! Staff were lovely, accomadation simple but clean & comfortable and food was delicious with no issues for our veggie/vegan friends! We will be back!

Top tips:
It was SO worth it but the drive from Sandakan to the reserve is long, windy and bumpy. If you're prone to motion sickness take tablets and wear the ear patches, they help! Those in our group who are not prone to suffering from it were fine however! Also take plwnty of tissues and take advantage of ALL the loo stops! They can be few and far between!

All in all, 5 stars! Highly recommend!

We chose Adventure Alternative Borneo for our Deramakot trip because of the very positive reviews here. I was skeptical how one-sided the reviews were. Now I know.

A friendly meet up at Telupid gave a false hope that it would be a nice trip.

[Serious safety alert]
On the second day, after the morning drive, the guide told us to meet up at 15:30 for the afternoon drive. So we gathered at the doorstep of our house at 15:30, waited for 15 min before going to check what happened, only to find the guide and driver sleeping in their room. Apparently whisky had been drunk, as a half full bottle and glasses were seen on the table (see attached photo). When the guide finally got up to talk to us, he denied having said 15:30 for the pm drive, and instead claimed that there were only am and night drives for the day, according to the itinerary. But it was clearly written in the itinerary that there are 3 drives per day.
At the end we had to settle birding on foot ourselves for the afternoon. I couldn’t imagine riding on a 4WD driven by a drunk driver in the dirt track of the forest, guided by a drunk guide.

As for the reserve itself, based on my 4D3N stay, I didn’t see the abundance of wildlife I had expected, definitely not comparable to Kinabatanga or Tabin. I guess for this reserve, you just have to stay at least a week to be able to see some more species and/or rare stuff. Here, it can go half an hour without a single mammal sighting in the night safari drive even in perfect weather.

I would not recommend AAB, even if you choose to try your luck in Deramakot.

Great place to visit. Went with Adventure Alternative Borneo and can highly recommend them. Guide and driver were great - went out of their way to try and find us wildlife, even continuing in lashing rain because my son wanted to, knowing there was little chance to spot mammals (we did see a viper though!). Over the three nights/days, we spotted about 24 mammal species including orang utans, elephants and the North Borneo Gibbon; three species of snake; some flying lizards and lots of birds - hornbills and raptors being particularly prevalent. Food was also good and plentiful and accommodation was comfortable. Definitely worth a visit if it's within your budget. Oh, and the Michael Jackson signs were particularly intriguing :)

There are lots of places to go for safaris in Sabah. Only a few would choose Deramakot Forest Reserve (DFR). The forest is at a remote location only accessible after a 3-hour bumpy 4WD ride, and accomodation is very basic. But for those knowing what to look for, it is definitely rewarding with opportunities that you simply cannot find in other destinations.
DFR is accessible only with permission that can be acquired by a handful of agencies. We chose Adventure Alternative Borneo who arranged the full tour with guide, accomodation, cook and driver from and to our other destinations. Our guide has over 10 year's experience leading safari tours for mammals and birds. He is very professional and helpful, knowing names of most animals we encountered, aware of recent changes in bird taxonomy, and had sharp eyes and ears to help us look for target species! Of couse, DFR is no wildlife zoo, so during our 3D2N stay we did not encounter our most expected targets -- the felines. But the sight of 4 orangutans, a crowd of Bornean elephants at night, colugos, civets and many tropical birds was already very rewarding.
Our accomodation -- the only one in DFR -- has air-con, paid WiFi and hot shower, but only during the time when diesel generators were running (6AM to noon, 6PM to midnight). The afternoon hours without electricity were definitely not pleasant. We stayed at somewhere as cool and dry as we could find, and counted minutes for the evening safari to start! But that is what you need to pay for staying at the center of a wonderful rain forest reserve, and I have no complaints for it.
DFR is recommended for advanced nature observers. If you are mainly interested in the "big five"s, the Kinabatangan River might provide more chances and far better accomodation. But if you do your homework and know more about the mammals, birds and the amazing insects, and would like to try your luck for rarer species, then you will not regret a trip to DFR.

Our recent visit to Deramakot Forest Reserve in Sabah, Borneo, provided a unique adventure. The lodges and research center are really located in the heart of the jungel! The staff made sure we had a very pleasant staye. We had the chance to observe wildlife such as civets, elephants, gibbons, red leaf monkeys, organg oetans, leopard cat and a variety of birds (hornbils, snake eagles, falconet, owls and so on. Our guide, Siti, was very knowledgeable, ethousiastic and had great eyes for spotting animals. She was a huge added value to our experience. Kudos to Adventure Alternative Borneo (AAB) for coordinating the experience. If you're a nature enthusiast, this reserve offers a simple yet authentic jungle adventure with lots of wildlife spotting opportunities!

A wonderful forest but you really have to work to see the wildlife in the thick jungle. Night drives were the most successful for finding a wife variety of animals. We stayed at the chalets which were very comfortable with good air conditioning. We had some of our best Malaysian food here. The staff did such a good job of making tasty food which accommodated my food restrictions.

The room in the bungalow we stayed in was quite small without any areas to place anything. It was clean and air conditioned. The food was good. We saw many different animals. Weather was hot and humid in the day. Much cooler early morning and late evening.

Deramakot is/was the first place for Sabah’s sustainable logging initiative, ie, it was a work site not a purpose built tourist resort and the infrastructure and facilities reflect this. Yet, it has everything the ardent wildlife photographer/voyager would want: friendly staff, great food, an air conditioned room, an en-suite bathroom with warm shower and a reasonably comfortable bed to lay one’s head. Of course, the reason to go is for the native wildlife and in this respect it absolutely did not disappoint. Mike, our guide, demonstrated a near encyclopaedic knowledge of not just the fauna but the flora too and with his razor sharp vision nothing passed him by, including spotting an amazing total of 8 Orangutans. Consequently we saw everything we wanted to and much much more by simply driving up and down the logging road, by day and by night. A significant advantage of having Mike as our guide was his expertise and proficiency in all things digital photography and particularly Nikon DSLR’s which suited us perfectly. In a ‘MacGyver’ moment, Mike even built my wife a diffuser unit and demonstrated how to take macro pictures of spiders and an array of beautiful insects - the results were both fascinating and a little creepy!

We both had a wonderful time with Mike and Deramakot was the highlight of our trip. The focus at Deramakot is the incredible wildlife, not your creature comforts. Yes it is basic, yes the vehicles are open to the elements, but wow what a view this gave us, and what a lot we saw because of this.

I’ve been to Deramakot with Adventure Alternative Borneo several times over the past 7years and it’s always an excellent trip. I’m a wildlife photographer and filmmaker and this place always delivers incredible, and different, sightings. Sometimes you have to work harder and sometimes you get very lucky, that’s part of nature and no matter how good a location is! Trip after trip I’ve come back with new sightings and moments I’ll never forget.

Accomodation is simple and clean, good shower and aircon. The guides are excellent and without them we wouldn’t see a fraction of what is potentially around. I’ve seen complaints about the jeeps but to me they are fit for purpose. I’m here to see wildlife safely, not sit in luxury 🤷‍♂️.

Would highly recommend a visit to Deramakot with AAB!
