Starting in Kuching and ending in Sandakan, the "Borneo Wildlife Discoverer" tour is a guided wildlife tour that takes 15 days. You will travel through Lahad Datu, Bako National Park, Kinabatangan River and 6 other destinations in Malaysia. "Borneo Wildlife Discoverer" is a small group tour which includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

Borneo is home to some of the most diverse and beautiful wildlife in Southeast Asia. This adventure covers many natural wonders, including majestic Mount Kinabalu and the Danum Valley, one of the trip highlights, for a jungle trek in search of the elusive orangutan. It’s a nature lover’s paradise, whose beauty and wildlife are equalled only by Bako and Mulu national parks, which we also explore. We come face to face with more orangutans in Sepilok, stay at a bamboo longhouse in Sabah, and finish the trip in the historic port town of Sandakan.
