From Page 1 >>
Besides the impressive array of fauna, you will be
fascinated by the variety of flora which
flourishes in the Reserve. Don’t miss the
infamous Rafflesia, the biggest flower in the
world which emits a rotting odor. Neither should
you miss taking a walk in the jungle to spot the
carnivorous Nepenthes or pitcher plants. The
fascinating array of wild orchids will not fail
to impress! The rainforests hold many plants
known for their medicinal value. Scientists
believe a large number of these plants have yet
to be discovered and that existing species still
hold secrets.
The orangutans are shy, quiet creatures. Consider yourself
lucky if you spot one! Perhaps another primate
which is as famous as the orangutan is the
proboscis monkey. These monkeys have large
pendulum-like noses and pot bellies! Both the
orangutans and the proboscis monkeys move in
large families during the day.
The Asian elephant, the smallest size elephant found in the
world, is easily seen inside the Tabin reserve
area and inside the palm plantation. They
normally travel in groups and remember not to
get too close! The elephants are wild.
Experience Tabin throughout a whole day! Listen
to the day time sounds and the vivid colours and
then sit back and relax while you soak up the
romantic blinking lights of the courting
fireflies at night.
