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 Kinabalu, we then continue to one of the trip highlights - the pristine Danum Valley. A nature lover's paradise, whose beauty and animals are equalled only by Sarawak and the World Heritage Mulu National Park with its immense cave system and the oldest rainforest in the world. We come face to face with Orang-utans at the Sepilok sanctuary, stay at a bamboo longhouse in Sabah on a tea plantation, and finish the trip in the historic port town of Sandakan.
  • Luxury jungle lodge in Danum Valley
  • River cruising in Kinabatangan
  • Mulu N.P. with the impressive Deer Cave bat exodus
  • Proboscis monkey spotting
  • Orang-utan spotting

We spend 13 nights in comfortable/standard hotels and lodges, all en suite. There’s also one night in a basic longhouse, with twin-share rooms and a shared bathroom.



The longhouse is a reconstruction of a local Rungus longhouse and is made entirely of wood with rattan walls dividing the rooms. Rooms are simple with mattresses on the ground, mosquito nets and ceiling fans. Bathroom facilities are shared with hot showers available.



The Borneo Rainforest Lodge is a comfortable luxury resort in teeming primary jungle. It has a prime location, responsible tourism practices, excellent wildlife-viewing opportunities and receives consistent positive feedback.



Worth knowing



The accommodations listed in the itinerary are the standard hotels used. However, there may be some departures where groups stay at similar hotels of the same standard and quality.

While the resorts we stay at in Borneo (Sepilok and Kinabatangan) are simple, they have been selected due to their proximity to wildlife activities included on the trip in conjunction with reduced accommodation options in the area.

Single rooms are available (subject to availability) for a supplement for 10 hotel/lodge nights only (singles are not available in Mulu National Park or the Danum Valley). Please advise your sales representative at the time of booking if you would like to request a single supplement.
