Trek Borneo

Get ready for a magical trek through the mountains and jungles of Borneo, finishing at an awesome orangutan orphanage.

Starting with a flight to Koto Kinabalu, your trek will begin from the foothills of Mount Kinabalu through lush jungles, bursting with amazing Malaysian wildlife. Bring your binoculars and look out for elephants, proboscis monkeys and orangutans. With birdsong as your soundtrack, you’ll venture through rolling rice paddies, mountain valleys and rainforest.

Along the way, you’ll encounter small villages with friendly locals, stay in beautiful jungle camps and cosy homestays and learn loads about the charming Sabah culture.

The rugged and sometimes slippery terrains may be challenging, but the views more than make up for it and you’ll conquer the trek with unforgettable memories and a bunch of new friends made.

As if that’s not enough to go ape about, you will also see an awesome cultural show in Kundasang and visit the baby orangutans in the invaluable Sepilok Orangutan rehabilitation centre. This amazing orangutan orphanage is dedicated to raising and rehabilitating the orphaned apes, while minimising deforestation. What a way to end your adventure!
