Beg or borrow an old bike inner tube and cut off a circle of rubber, these make excellent make shift sink plugs which always seem to be missing when you want to wash your socks. Irene
Borneo Wildlife & Culture Expedition
AMYBE21-E
Kuching/Kota Kinabalu 21 days/20 nights
The Ultimate Tour for People Who Hate Tours!
Visit Borneo with an emphasis on culture, wildlife and adventure. See Orangutans, rare monkeys & flora, stay with ex-headhunters & the gentle Penan people.
Irene has over 18 years experience travelling to Borneo and have made some very special friendships during this time.
Group members are treated as an extended part of the communities we visit - not merely a tourist which makes for a very special experience.
What you will see and do:
- Kuching – one of the most beautiful cities in Asia
- Semenggoh Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre
- Bako National Park – rare monkeys, flora and fauna, beaches and rainforests
- Penan – stay with the semi nomadic Penan in their remote jungle community
- Mulu National Park the largest cave system in the world
- Kuala Penyu – relaxing beach stay
- Kota Kinabalu – capital of Sabah ‘Land Below the Wind’
Adventure Grade: Moderate
You need to have a good level of fitness to join this tour - for example who might find yourself having to hop out and help push a longboat if the river level is low and you need to be happy to trek for 4-5 hours in the jungle.
Accommodation:
We stay in Hotels in Kuching, Miri and Limbang that are graded 3-4 star. In Kota Kinabalu at a local B&B and Kuala Penyu, beach chalets - these are all twin share. At Mulu, Kinabalu and Bako National Parks we stay in National Park accommodation, some if twin share and some is bunk style i.e. Camp 5 at Mulu. Group share accommodation is the only option when we stay in longhouses.

The tour is guaranteed to depart with 6 travellers. The maximum group size is 10 people, plus your New Zealand escort.

A portion of your tour cost goes to support our projects with the remote Penan village that we visit as part of this tour.
