Description

The great rainforests of Borneo offer the active and adventurous the chance to participate in a multitude of exciting activities. We journey into the depths of the equatorial rainforest at Mulu National Park where we explore the largest caves on earth, and trek through the jungle on the Headhunter's trail used in years gone by Kayan warriors. We meet the loveable orang-utans at the Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre and spend two days at a lodge in the Kinabatanagan Wildlife Reserve where orang-utans, elephants, Proboscis monkeys and hornbills are commonly seen. A fitting end to this adventurous journey is a climb of Mount Kinabalu (4095 m), the highest mountain in SE Asia, which is followed by two days at the beach.
