Nature lovers delight in the lush untouched rainforest    

Much of Brunei’s rainforest is untouched and home to rare and exotic creatures. None more intriguing than the proboscis monkey. Its funny-shaped nose has many uses, especially for the males to attract the females. Trek across the jungles of the Ulu Temburong National Park in search of these amazing creatures, as well as the elusive Hornbill, and  Clouded Leopard. Get that rainforest feel within the city at Tasek Lama Recreational Park. A beautiful waterfall and intricate pathways pave the way to a tribe of wild macaques amidst lush greenery.
