🌿🐸 Frogging in Borneo: A Nighttime Jungle Adventure Like No Other! 🐸🌿
Dodging fire ants, snakes, and a sea of jungle critters, a group of adventurers trek deep into the humid rainforest of Sarawak—torches in hand, eyes scanning the dark for the stars of the night: frogs!

“There’s another one—and it’s massive!” exclaimed British tourist Lauren Heywood, catching the glitter of amphibian eyes in her flashlight beam.

Welcome to “frogging”, the latest eco-tourism craze in Kubah National Park, just 30 minutes from Kuching. While most come to Borneo for orangutans and elephants, a growing number are now flocking to see some of the tiniest and most extraordinary frogs on Earth.

Led by Indigenous Dayak guide Dominic Jikie, the tour climbs up Mount Serapi to a hidden jungle pond—home to over 180 species of frogs and toads, including:
✅ Pink harlequin flying frogs
✅ Sharp-nosed file-eared tree frogs
✅ Luminous green white-lipped frogs
✅ And even one of the world’s smallest frogs—just 11mm, living inside pitcher plants!

🌍 But it’s not just fun and photos. These frogs face real threats: deforestation, climate change, and habitat loss. Conservationists hope that by raising awareness through events like the Bornean Frog Race, more people will care enough to protect them.

As park ranger Tajuddin puts it:
“Frogging is a unique way for me to share my love for nature with our visitors.”

💚 If you're ever in Sarawak, don't miss the chance to go frogging—an unforgettable, eye-opening jungle journey under the stars. ✨
