Borneo
Miles and miles of untouched emerald rainforest where exotic birds swoop through jungle canopies and wild orangutan feast on fruit amongst the branches. Borneo is exactly how you dream it to be.
From Bornean elephants and proboscis monkeys to Sumatran tigers and the clouded leopard, the main draw to this remarkable island are its deeply biodiverse rainforests and a trek through the tangles of leaves will allow you to experience the islands incredible wildlife first-hand. A visit to Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary should be high up on your agenda, where you can witness the fabulous work that is being done to rehabilitate the islands most famous inhabitants. And no trip to Borneo should be complete without a stopover on Gaya Island where luxury retreats and eco-resorts spill onto porcelain white beaches, offering up a slice of sun-drenched paradise.
