10-Nights Borneo Rainforests & Villages Wildlife Safari

Sandakan

Sandakan is best known for its natural orangutan sanctuary, the largest of only three orangutan reserves in the world. The orangutan has often been called the "Wildman of Borneo," and at one time was nearly extinct.

Danum Valley

Home of 438 square kilometers of exceptional flora and fauna, Danum Valley Conservation Area is an ancient tropical lowland rainforest nestled in Sabah, Borneo. This pristine and undisturbed rainforest boasts over 200 species of plants per hectare, over 340 species of birds, 56 species of amphibians, 72 species of reptiles and 124 species of mammals. Danum Valley Field Centre is also located in the Conservation Area, the foremost rainforest research center in South East Asia.

Kinabatangan River

A wildlife river adventure in Sabah, this diverse ecosystem shelters 10 species of primates, 200 species of birds, endangered pygmy elephants and the Malay sun bear.  Enjoy guided night tours through the jungle or row into the Gomantong Caves. An exploration through the Borneo jungle awaits!

Kota Kinabalu

This state capital is strung out along the coast, with jungle-clad hills as a backdrop, and is home to a population of about 180,000. From an obscure fishing town, Kota Kinabalu has grown to a fashionable, modern town with deep-water anchorage. The highest vantage point, Signal Hill, offers an excellent view. Other sights include Papar - a scenic drive south from Kota Kinabalu, through paddy fields and jungle, the old town section (bandar lama) of Papar with several rows of quaint wooden shophouses, painted blue and laid out along spacious boulevards lined with palms and a large market in the center of the town; and Pulau Tiga National Park - a dip forest reserve virtually untouched and containing species not found on other islands.
