Morning Safari
An early-morning speedboat cruise along the lake's tributaries to observe wildlife waking up. Spot proboscis monkeys, macaques, hornbills, kingfishers, and eagles along the water's edge as the mist lifts off the lake.
Night Safari
Experience the rainforest after dark with a guided night cruise along the lake's shoreline. Spotlight nocturnal wildlife — slow lorises, civets, the elusive flat-headed cat, and fishing owls. Listen to the chorus of frogs and insects that transforms the jungle at night.
Salt Lick Wildlife Observation
Wait in camouflaged hides at natural salt licks deep within Royal Belum, including the Sanctuary at Sg Ruok. Observe elephants, tapirs, sun bears, and various deer species as they emerge to feed. Dawn sessions offer the best sightings. Included as a visit activity on most packages.
