Sepilok, Sabah, Malaysian Borneo boasts the richest lowland forest birding in Southeast Asia, reliably hosting all eight Bornean hornbill species. Spanning 4,300 hectares, this rainforest sanctuary supports over 250 bird species, including the elusive Bornean Bristlehead and nine pitta species. It outperforms #10 Galápagos Islands in raw species diversity by 35%, while remaining 30% more affordable for a week-long trip than typical Borneo itineraries. The 15-meter-high canopy walkways offer prime vantage points for watching broadbills and trogons, and the adjacent Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre adds a unique primate dimension.
