This time we decided to explore the world’s third largest island... Borneo! Intrigued by its ancient equatorial rainforests, spectacular jungle wildlife, rich indigenous culture and culinary melting pot, we were looking for something wild - Borneo sure did not disappoint!
Come on an adventure with us as we explore Sabah, the Malaysian part of Borneo. We discover untouched primary rainforests, where you feel like you are in the Jurassic lost world; catch a glimpse in the dense canopy of wildlife such as the endangered orangutan and the cartoon like proboscis monkey; learn about the heritage and old traditions of the Murut and the Kadazandusun tribes and admire the wide range of delicious cuisine of this magnificent island.
Today, we finally reach the Maliau Basin, a truly untouched rainforest older than humanity. People call it the lost world and Maliau is for sure as wild as it gets. This primary uncut tropical forest in a shaped bowl depression is a paradise for botanists and nature lovers with its 2000+ types of fauna and flora (and more awaiting to be discovered!).
If you are lucky, you can spot in this dense jungle: barking deers, bornean gibbons, pig tailed and red-leaf monkeys, extremely more rarely the sun bear, proboscis monkeys, clouded leopards and pythons as well as many species of birds including the rare Bulwer's pheasant. But the most impressive of them all are the endangered pigmy elephants. Did we spot any of them?
Check it out! And let's get lost!
