Borneo Wildlife Holidays

Borneo is one of the world’s richest wildlife destinations, a place where ancient rainforests, winding rivers, and remote mountain ranges provide a haven for rare and remarkable species. It’s best known for its orangutans, but the diversity goes far beyond that, making it an incredible destination for wildlife lovers of all ages.

What we love about Borneo is the feeling of true wilderness. In the jungles of Sabah and Sarawak, you can explore on foot or by boat with expert naturalist guides, spotting proboscis monkeys, pygmy elephants, hornbills, and with a bit of luck wild orangutans. The Danum Valley is particularly special: a pristine rainforest reserve where night walks and canopy treks bring you eye-to-eye with everything from slow loris to flying squirrels.

Borneo’s rivers offer a more gentle way to spot wildlife. A multi-day trip along the Kinabatangan River lets you stay in comfortable lodges and watch the banks come alive with activity at dawn and dusk. If you're keen on marine life, Borneo’s islands are home to world-class snorkelling and diving, with turtles and reef sharks regularly seen off places like Lankayan or Sipadan.

Whether you're looking for a soft adventure with the kids or a more in-depth wildlife experience, Borneo’s rare mix of biodiversity, expert guiding, and well-placed eco-lodges makes it a truly unforgettable destination.
