1. Passport: Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months from the date of entry.

Is it easy to do a self-drive from Kota Kinabalu to Danum Valley?

1. You will need permission to drive into Danum Valley itself, and the road requires 4x4 car. I would book directly with either the field centre or BRL.

2. It takes at least 8 hours to get from KK to Lahad Datu. It's better to fly with MAS Wings. From Lahad Datu, you need to join a tour of Danum Valley.

How to get to Kinabatangan Wildlife Lodge from Kota Kinabalu?

1. If budget allows, we usually take a flight to Sandakan as it will save plenty of your time. Try AirAsia, MasWing, or FireFly; they all operate daily flights to SDK. 

2. From SDK, most resorts in Kinabatangan areas will have transportation arrangements from teh SDK airport to their resorts, with a charge. 

3. Ask Kinabatangan Wildlife Lodge where and what time your pickup in Sandakan is. They should be able to pick you up from Sandakan and back.
