Itinerary
Venture into the wild heart of Borneo on the "Borneo Wildlife Discoverer" tour, a 15-day exploration tailored for senior nature enthusiasts. Starting in Kuching and ending in Sandakan, this moderate-activity trip immerses you in some of Southeast Asia’s richest biodiversity.
Journey through iconic destinations like Mt Kinabalu National Park and the Danum Valley, renowned for its jungle treks and opportunities to spot the elusive orangutan. Visit Bako and Mulu national parks for more wildlife encounters, and enjoy authentic stays such as a bamboo longhouse in Sabah. A highlight is Sepilok, where you’ll meet orangutans up close, followed by a relaxing finale in the historic port of Sandakan.
What sets this tour apart is its expertly guided focus on rare wildlife and local culture, making it a paradise for those who seek both adventure and comfort in one unforgettable trip package.
day 1Adventure starts in Kuching
Kuching, capital of the Sarawak state, is a vibrant riverside city full of different ethnic groups. With a great museum and a well-preserved colonial centre there is much to do in this cultural hot spot.
Around 6pm, say selamat petang to your tour leader and fellow travellers, when we gather as a group for the first time to get to know each other and learn more about the adventures ahead.
Your tour leader then ensures a big Malaysian welcome by arranging a group dinner at the waterfront hawkers’ stalls.
Want extra time in Kuching? Secure pre-tour hotel nights through your sales representative.
