The Bizarre and Beautiful

The first few days introduce Northern Borneo. A visit around the museum and a living Head Hunter's Village shed light on life in Borneo and the intense interaction its peoples have with nature, whilst the Wildlife Park allows up close-and-personal experiences with many of the endemic animals that would otherwise be very hard to see. Kinabalu Park, one of Malaysia's two world heritage sites, and the Crocker Range, will reveal a vast difference in the species and habitats of the highlands.

Malaysia's other world heritage site, Mulu National Park in Sarawak, has much more than just nature. In the heart of Borneo there are caves systems like no other in the world. Deer & Lang Caves, 3 km from the Mulu National Park, not only boost the longest cave systems in the world but are also home to millions of bats and swiftlets as well as a variety of cave-dwelling snakes that prey upon them. In Lang Cave you can admire its spectacular array of stalactites and stalagmites and nearby at Clearwater Cave the scenery is equally as breathtaking.

Back to Sabah and the pristine jungle around Sepilok near the longest river in Borneo the Kinabatangan, here you will visit the world famous Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, and stay in Sukau, an area of celebrated beauty and density of wildlife. Proboscis monkeys, orangutans, pygmy elephants, river otters, reptiles and birds like the hornbill, kingfisher and heron, are but some of the manyu animals that can be seen from the river.
