Borneo Holidays

What you can find in Borneo that you won't find anywhere else?

If you’ve always dreamed of a true jungle escape, Borneo holidays promise to fulfil this fauna-filled fantasy, with some of the world’s most fruitful equatorial rainforests. The two Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak make up roughly the northern third of the island, the rest being part of Indonesia. Comprised of dense rain forest, unique fauna and flora, white sandy beaches and remote islands the regions are mainly known for their versatile landscapes and wildlife species, including wonderful and rare orangutans, proboscis monkeys and pygmy elephants.

As well as exploring some of the best wildlife-spotting locations in Southeast Asia, visitors can also include an interesting cultural aspect in their trip, as the regions are both home to many different ethnic groups. The coastal kampungs (villages) are largely populated by Malays, while indigenous groups - including the Iban, Dusun, Murut, Penan - occupy the interior. The eclectic mix of cultures extends into the island’s culinary traditions, and Borneo holidays can include visits to the Malay night markets (teeming with traditional satay stalls) and fresh seafood feasts at authentic Chinese restaurants.
