3D2N Wild Sabah Roadtrip + Camping with Epic Kinabalu Views

Kinabalu’s only all-inclusive 4x4 expedition: wild camps, epic views & more!

I had an excellent time driving the manual shift Landcruiser 60 series (year made 80s) off road and on the country side. My guide Zeno did a great job showing me around, setting up our camp site and cooking meals. The location of the camp site near Mount Kinabalu is really good with decent facilities. The camping gears are top notch and throughly cleaned for each use. I highly recommend this trip.

We had a great trip! We especially loved the off road driving and the places you would not normally visit in Borneo.

What I really appreciate about Seek Sophie is how different their experiences feel compared to typical booking platforms. You can tell they genuinely care about curating meaningful and unique trips instead of just selling tours.

The 3D2N Borneo trip was honestly one of the most memorable trips I’ve been on, and a huge part of that was because of Ron, Bonnie &amp; Heylix. They were incredibly attentive throughout and made everyone feel comfortable and taken care of the entire time.

The experience itself felt very thoughtfully curated, from the peaceful, almost private views overlooking Mount Kinabalu from the hills, to exploring Kundasang in the Land Cruisers and even getting the chance to drive them ourselves, which was definitely a highlight for me.

It didn’t feel commercialised or rushed, and that’s what made it so special. You really feel connected to the place, the people, and the experience. Highly recommend.

I loved how everything was well-prepared for us, even a hair dryer was provided! The crew were very friendly and always smiling. They were also very efficient with packing and setting up, so there was no time wasted.

The 3D2N Kota Kinabalu Borneo Overland Expedition Trip exceeded all my expectations. From the very beginning, I was impressed by the meticulous attention to detail and preparation from wrapping vehicle seats to providing thoughtful amenities like personal toiletries, wet wipes etc. Ron Wong, Roger and Gregory, along with the entire crew, displayed exceptional professionalism in planning and ensuring our comfort throughout the trip.

Despite challenges like the power outage on the first night, the team worked tirelessly in the wet weather to set up tents and prepare meals, showcasing their dedication. Special appreciation goes to Denny, whose boundless energy and impressive photography skills helped capture memorable moments for us.

I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this well-organized and unforgettable journey! It truly 5 star service and I strongly recommend Borneo Overland to anyone seeking exciting outdoor adventures.

Was camping at Bundu That, the views of Mount Kota Kinabalu and surrounding hills are magnificent. It was a lovely experience camping on top of a hill, dinning with friends under the stars and sleeping is the open. The beds are also comfortable, well- equipped with bedding, sleeping bags, pillows and lights. It was a really lovely camping experience. And every crew makes the whole experience special and memorable. Roger and Danny are very helpful crews. The rest are also warm and friendly too. Thank you crews.

I had a great time on the 3 day KK expedition with 8 others. We were split across 3 Land Cruiser 60 series 4x4s.

The Kundasang campsite was amazing, with a clear view of Mount Kinabalu to wake up to in the morning. Food was amazing, thanks to the work of the crew Frendsy, Mansah and Gregory.

Activities involved white water rafting, hiking and swimming in waterfalls. These were a great way to break up the driving and cool off.
