Malaysia Borneo

Fringed by the South China, Sulu and Celebes Seas this far northern peninsula is home to Borneo's most prestigious hotels and spas, golf and dive sites. The two East Malaysia states of Sabah and Sarawak make up just part of the island of Borneo. Both states have large tracts of rainforest, rivers, caves and tropical islands.

As well as the many eco-activities there are plenty of beaches to relax on. SABAH, often called the "Land below the wind" because it lies below the typhoon belt, has beach resorts located within easy reach of the modern coastal capital, Kota Kinabalu. Inland there are rushing rivers, mountain lodges and Mt. Kinabalu, the region's tallest peak. Sandakan on the east coast is base for the Sepilok Orang-utan Rehabilitation Centre and egg-laying Turtle Islands National Park or venture down the Kinabatangan River to the river lodges of Sukau to see proboscis monkeys. Further south visit the Danum Valley for the chance to see pygmy elephants and orang utans in their wild habitat whilst staying in the comfortable Borneo Rainforest Lodge.

You can access Sabah by taking a two hour flight from Kuala Lumpur or Singapore or a three hour flight from Hong Kong.

SARAWAK, the "Land of the hornbills" is rich in wildlife with over 500 species of birds. There are nine national parks including the Mulu National Park where a number of the caves can be explored. Just outside Kuching, the state capital, is the Semenggoh Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre for orang-utans
All the Indiana Jones-style originals are here - dense forests, hidden temples, rushing rivers, bottomless caves and remote, head-hunters tribes. Sarawak is the largest state in Malaysia and with the huge choice of national parks and rare flora and fauna help to make Malaysia's largest and most diverse state an eco and soft adventure traveller's dream.
