INCREDIBLE WILDLIFE AND EXQUISITE BEACHES

Delve deep into the jungle in search of pygmy elephants, Sumatran rhinos, proboscis monkeys and the world’s smallest bears – the Bornean Sun Bear. The island, however, is famous for its iconic orangutans – one of only two places in the world where they still live in the wild. The best chance to spot these adorable primates is at one of the rehabilitation centres, where they live in a semi-wild state.

Borneo is also home to fabulous resorts, unspoilt beaches and some of the best diving sites in the world, surrounded by vibrant coral reefs and colourful marine life. After a fun day trekking in the jungles, there is no place better to unwind than its astonishingly bright blue waters and glistening white sand beaches.

Malaysian Borneo is split into two states – Sarawak and Sabah. Kota Kinabalu (or KK) is the capital of Sabah and acts as the gateway to the glorious beach resorts. It also has a burgeoning food scene, from thriving night markets to a seemingly endless choice of restaurants and hawker stalls. Sabah has a number of incredible national parks and wildlife reserves, as well as the imperious Kinabatangan River, which boasts one of the highest concentrations of flora and fauna - it is one of the best places to experience Borneo’s incredible wildlife.

If you are looking for a rewarding challenge while on holiday you can choose to climb the imposing Mount Kinabalu - one of South East Asia’s highest mountains, where you pass fascinating ecosystems and habitats along the way.

A holiday to Borneo can be combined with a stay on mainland Malaysia - combine the jungles with a fun city break in Kuala Lumpur or beach break in Langkawi. Enquire today!
