Borneo’s Sabah- 14 Days: Kinabalu, Sepilok and the Danum Valley

Borneo is one of the last true wild areas of the world and has some of the highest biodiversity on Earth. Borneo’s rainforests are filled with life of the most unique kind. The forest’s most popular local resident is the Orangutan, and on most areas of the island, there are at least 12 species of primates that inhabit the forests including Gibbons, Proboscis Monkeys, Langurs, and Macaques. Other spectacular wildlife consists of 5 species of Jungle Cat, Pygmy Elephants, Binturong (Bearcat), Sun Bears (critically endangered), and Crocodiles. The list of animals, reptiles, and amphibians is seemingly endless. There are almost 700 bird species in Borneo, including 8 different species of Hornbills! On Mt. Kinabalu, out of over 2000 flowering plant species, 850+ of them are orchids.

For the majority of the Pleistocene period, the far north of the island was always a wet region, which probably explains the high diversity here compared to other regions. On this journey, we will focus on the northern state of Sabah, and visit all of the reserves that have the most prolific wildlife populations, and offer the best chances of seeing the incredible wildlife of Borneo.
