12 Days Land of the Orang Utan
Wildlife, Rainforest and
highlights of Borneo
Introduction
Discover Borneo's magical combination of unique
wildlife, stunning scenery and beautiful beaches. We
include the opportunity to either scale mighty Mount
Kinabalu or spend extra time exploring Kinabalu National
Park - a less challenging but equally thrilling option
in this equatorial paradise.
MOUNT KINABALU
After a visit to the idyllic island of Manukan, we head
into the Gunung Kinabalu National Park. Here we have our
first chance to explore the rainforest and experience
its diversity of animal and plant life - pitcher plants
abound and the birdlife at dusk and dawn has to be seen
(and heard) to be believed. Alternatively, keen walkers
can take a mountain trail up through the forest,
eventually reaching the mountain hostel which affords
spectacular views across the forest and up to the peaks
above. Next morning, the more energetic also have the
option to make a dawn ascent to South East Asia's
highest peak: the summit of Mount Kinabalu.
ORANG UTANS & HOT SPRINGS
At Poring Hot Springs, there is the chance to relax and
swim beneath the nearby waterfalls. A thrilling
experience is the ascent into the rainforest canopy and
walking along the 100-foot-high walkway which snakes
through the treetops: brimming with wildlife, many are
unique to this part of Asia. One of the highlights is
our stay in a jungle lodge at Sepilok, our base for
jungle walks and orang utan spotting.
MONKEYS, CAVES & TURTLES
Cruising down the Kinabatangan River around Sukau, we
hope to see unusual proboscis monkeys and, later on, to
witness some of the hundreds of thousands of bats which
live in Gomantong Caves. Finally, we plan to visit the
paradise island of Pulau Tiga where we can relax on
idyllic white sand beaches or spend our time snorkelling
and sea-kayaking the warm tropical seas. Our last day is
spent relaxing around Kota Kinabalu.
