Borneo
Holidays
Like nowhere else on earth
To many, Borneo is famous for just one thing; the merest mention of the place can
lead to grown adults pulling silly faces and scratching their armpits. Whilst the
Pongo pygmaeus, better known as the orang-utan – Malay for 'man of the forest', are undoubtedly a highlight of any holiday in the third largest island
on the planet, there is so much more to Borneo.
During your holiday in this culturally diverse region of Malaysia (the people of Sabah
and Sarawak share a total of 156 dialects and a huge variety of religions!) you
can expect to travel by traditional longtail boat; stay in tribal longhouses and
jungle lodges; walk some of the planets finest nature trails; see rare wildlife
such as pigmy elephants, proboscis monkeys and rhinos; enjoy lazy days on idyllic
beaches; dive the spectacular South China Sea at what many consider to be some of
the worlds finest dive sites; and spend time with indigenous tribes and ancient
cultures. Did we miss anything?!
No matter how well travelled you are, you’ll never have been on holiday anywhere like
Borneo…now where are those cute orange monkeys?!
