Borneo Safari Holidays and Travel 

Borneo, occupying a large archipelago between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, is the third largest island in the world. Divided into a number of different states, some parts of Malaysia (Brunei, Sarawak and Sabah - northern Borneo) and others part of Indonesia (Kalimantan - southern Borneo). Borneo is nowadays more of a geographical term rather than a political term, yet it conjures in the imagination the sense of vast rainforests, extravagant nature and colourful people.

Cut off from the mainland at the end of the last Ice Age Borneo's topography is a mix of dramatic mountains (highest peak Mt Kinabalu 4,101m), slow moving wide rivers, and swamps which have all contributed to safe guarding the island's diverse wildlife over the years. With the predominant rains between November and January and average annual temperatures between 25-30C Borneo travel provides a wealth of attractions from white sandy beaches backed by luscious rainforests, world class diving and uniquely endangered forest species such as the Orang-utan, Proboscis monkey and the pygmy elephant.

What to Expect on your Borneo Safari Holiday: Sometimes when travelling in the interior, things may not go like clockwork. There may be times when the experienced boatmen will hold the journey for an hour or two for the roaring river to subside, travellers may have to oblige with the local customs and join in the wedding celebrations or respect taboos following a death in the village. All these contribute to the unique experience of Borneo. Gaining knowledge of and observing local culture will make your trip all the more memorable. Borneo safaris are not the most luxury however they are a true experience, giving you access to some amazing wildlife, beautiful island getaways and world class diving.
