Best of Borneo

Kuching → Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary 20 days Up to 16

About this trip

Twenty days across Borneo for anyone drawn to jungle, mountains and the wildlife that comes with both. You'll cover serious ground, from the rainforests of Gunung Mulu to the villages beneath Mt Kinabalu, with plenty of time spent outdoors on trails and rivers.

Expect close encounters with orangutans, nights in jungle cabins, and a mix of trekking, boat travel and village life. It's a trip built around nature rather than comfort, though the settings make up for the basic beds.

What you'll do

  • Trek through Gunung Mulu National Park
  • Spot orangutans at Sepilok reserve
  • Relax on the shores of Turtle Island
  • Meet villagers living in the shadow of Mt Kinabalu
  • Spend a night or two sleeping in the jungle
  • Watch for wildlife on boat journeys and forest trails
Good to know
  • Accommodation ranges from dorms and homestays to jungle cabins and hotels — some basic
  • Time spent at altitude, so check the medical and health notes before you go
  • Specific packing is needed for jungle and mountain conditions
