Wild Borneo

We love...

Seeking out wildlife such as proboscis monkeys, orang-utans and pygmy elephants as you cruise along remote Kinabatangan River.

Join us for a wild adventure to the rivers and rainforests of Borneo. We’ll discover the cultures that have influenced two of the island’s cities, breathe in the thick, humid forests and spy a variety of wildlife. Explore gardens of exotic flowers and climb into ancient tree canopies. Search for proboscis monkeys and pygmy elephants as we leisurely cruise remote rivers. And discover how centres are caring for the orang-utan and the world’s smallest bear. If you're looking for an unforgettable wildlife holiday, our Borneo tours are perfect.

We drive along the ridges of the Crocker Range to Kinabalu National Park, a UNESCO-protected area of tropical lowland and hillside rainforest dominated by Mount Kinabalu. It has an exceptionally rich variety of plants, including over a thousand species of orchid. The majority of Borneo’s mammals, birds, amphibians and invertebrates (many threatened and vulnerable) can be found here too. We make our way along the mountain’s garden trails with naturalist guides, which showcase the diversity of plant life here. We’ll also visit a handicraft market, before arriving at our hotel for two nights - within the national park, in the heart of the action.

We then stroll around the Butterfly Garden, an excellent place to watch for beautifully coloured butterflies, birds, and maybe even a flying lizard! We proceed to the Kundasang War Memorial Park, dedicated to the British and Australian prisoners of war who perished on the Sandakan Marches during World War II. We’ll complete our day at Kundasang Market, where local farms sell their produce, including fruits unknown to the British table.
