Wild Sarawak

Wild Sarawak

Wild, tropical and remote – Borneo is South East Asia’s answer to the Amazon. This 10-day trip is full of active adventure set in natural paradise. See orangutans swinging through the rainforest treetops at a sanctuary in Semenggoh and venture into the vast Mulu cave systems. Follow the Headhunter’s Trail through dense jungle in Sarawak, wander along Kuching’s riverside promenade and relax on golden-sand beaches on Labuan Island. This one’s for nature-lovers, wildlife-spotters and beach-goers!
