Wild Sarawak and Borneo National Parks
Travel through Sarawak and Sabah on a 10-day route that links rainforest, rivers, caves and coastal stops in Malaysian Borneo. Start in Kuching, with time along the waterfront and a visit to Semenggoh Wildlife Centre for a chance to see orangutans in a rehabilitation setting. Continue to Bako National Park for guided jungle walking before flying to Gunung Mulu National Park, where cave systems, rainforest trails and a visit with the Berawan community are part of the itinerary. The route also includes the Headhunter’s Trail, a trek through remote jungle, before ending with time on Labuan Island and in Kota Kinabalu. Several sections involve long walks and basic multishare accommodation in national park areas, so a reasonable level of fitness is needed. This trip is for travellers who are comfortable with an active pace, shared stays and varied conditions in the national parks.
