MadagascarTours to Borneo
Borneo, an island that conjures images of darkness and mystery, has long nourished the imagination of biologists and travellers alike. The Malaysian State of Sabah, has perhaps the best-protected areas on the island. From the heights of Mount Kinabalu to pristine coral-fringed islands with vast tracts of lush forest between, this diversity supports a tremendous array of endearing and intriguing species – there are mammals, lizards, snakes and frogs that glide, fish that “walk” on mud, monkeys that dive and swim and plants that eat insects.

Best known are two extraordinary primates; the fabled Orang Utan literally translated as “Man of the Forest” and the amazing Proboscis Monkey. Add to these, the spectacular Rhinoceros Hornbill, several species of Pitta - exquisite jewel-like forest-floor birds, a myriad of singing tree frogs and the giant Rafflesia, the world’s largest flower and some of this natural wealth becomes apparent.
Tours visit five of Sabah’s premier wildlife locations, all with straightforward access and good standards of accommodation. These offer the full splendour of Borneo’s hidden secrets: a window to nature at its most beautiful and bizarre.
