Showcasing the best of Borneo - wildlife, rainforests, tropical islands and unique peoples

Borneo is home to some of the most diverse and beautiful wildlife in the whole of South East Asia. Starting with a visit to majestic Mt \r\nKinabalu, we then continue to Turtle Island. One of the trip highlights is the pristine Danum Valley - a nature lover's paradise, but not to be outdone by Sarawak and the world heritage Mulu National Park with its immense cave system and and the oldest rainforest in the world. We come face to face with Orang-utans at Semenggok and Sepilok sanctuaries, stay with a local village in the Kinabatanagan River region, and overnight in a longhouse, before we relax at the beach.
