Malaysia Wildlife Holidays

Borneo

Located in Southeast Asia’s Malay Archipelago, the rugged island of Borneo is home to some of the world’s most wildlife-rich rainforests and biodiverse ecosystems. The island comprises two Malaysian states; Sabah in the north and Sarawak in the south, both playing host to their own cast of fascinating creatures. Spot endangered orangutans and pygmy elephants in the forests of Sabah, or head for Sarawak’s Bako National Park, where proboscis monkeys and long-tailed macaques rule the roost.

Langkawi Archipelago

The collection of 99 islands which form the Langkawi Archipelago have bagged themselves the nickname of the ‘Jewel of Kedah’, an apt description for this tropical paradise. The surrounding Andaman Sea is brimming with vibrant coral reefs that provide a playground for all manner of intriguing sea life. Venture further than the shoreline during Malaysia wildlife holidays and immerse yourself in this universe beneath the waves.

Peninsular Malaysia

Back on the Malaysian mainland, majestic Malayan tigers (the country’s national symbol) roam the jungles of the interior. Taman Negara National Park is another wildlife heavyweight located on the mainland, with rainforests that are thought to be 130 million years old. The ancient landscape provides shelter for deer, elephants, monkey, hornbills and monitor lizards.
