All about the The Tabin Wildlife Experience.

Established in 1984, the Tabin Wildlife Reserve is located within the Dent Peninsula in the eastern part of Sabah. Covering an area of approximately 300,000 acres of lowland Dipterocarp forest, this reserve is managed collaboratively by the Wildlife Department of Sabah and Forestry Department of Sabah.

With resort facilities built into the reserve in 2004, this area has become a hotspot for nature enthusiasts to observe the rich biodiversity of Borneo.  The three largest mammals of Sabah, namely Borneo Pygmy Elephant, Sumatran Rhinoceros and Tembadau or Wild Cattle; nine species of primate as well as three species of cats all of which are on the protected list are all found within the reserve.

Tabin Wildlife Reserve is also a birders’ paradise with 42 families representing 300 different species have been recorded.
