If you want to immerse yourself in Borneo's incredible wildlife and beaches but don’t fancy too much road travel or rushing around, then a holiday like this one could be ideal.
This suggested itinerary takes in Sepilok, the Kinabatangan River and Danum Valley. With astonishing biodiversity, these are the best places to see most of Borneo’s native species, including the iconic orangutan, pygmy elephants and many lesser-known exotic creatures. You’ll explore the jungle with an expert nature guide from whom you’ll learn untold tales about the rainforest and get the best possible wildlife sightings - a memorable experience indeed.
After exploring the jungle, you’ll head to Gaya Island where you can enjoy five days in idyllic surroundings at the beach. Here you have the chance to relax, explore jungle trails or swim and snorkel in crystal clear waters inhabited by a wealth of marine life.
Highlights include:
- Wonder at the incredible rainforest teeming with wildlife, in the company of your expert nature guide
- Drift down the Kinabatangan River keeping watch for pygmy elephants, rare bird species and primates
- The flexibility to enjoy lazy days relaxing by the pool or active days following nature trails. The choice is yours at Gaya Island
Your holiday will include private transport and guides throughout. Having a private guide will allow you a level of flexibility and spontaneity, and an expert nature guide will ensure you have the absolute best viewings of the amazing wildlife.
