About this tour
Uncover Sabah, Malaysia’s lush jungle paradise, with a captivating wildlife-focused getaway amongst the towering mountain vistas, dense rainforest stretches and pristine white-sand beaches of Borneo.
Begin your journey in Sandakan, where you’ll meet the region’s unusual proboscis monkeys at a local sanctuary and visit the Rainforest Discovery Centre for your first taste of the island’s diverse local wildlife. Later, witness for yourself glimmering rainforests under evening light with an optional bush walk.
The following day, tour the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation and Sun Bear Conservation centres. Take the opportunity to meet two of Borneo’s most recognisable species before being introduced to the creatures that dwell on the banks of its waterways with an evening cruise on the Kinabatangan River.
The next day embark on two more sailings on the Pitas Oxbow Lake, offering the rare opportunity to view pygmy elephants and the local monkeys in their natural habitats. You’ll then see the Sabah Tea Plantation on a scenic transfer to Mount Kinabalu, where you’ll stay for the next two nights.
Journey into the mountains to Kinabalu Park in search of more animal sightings. Relax and unwind at the Poring Hot Springs before heading to the coast for your final resort. Embrace local customs at the Mari Mari Cultural Village on an optional tour as you enjoy the first of six full days at leisure on Borneo’s idyllic white-sand beaches, the perfect end to a memorable wildlife-spotting adventure.
