Wild safaris & ethical animal visits in Borneo’s remote rainforest retreat
This 3-day experience is perfect if you want to get the best of Borneo’s wildlife—both in protected sanctuaries and out in the wild. You'll not only get to see orangutans and sun bears up close at Sepilok, but also head deep into the Bornean rainforest for river safaris along Kinabatangan River, one of the best places in Southeast Asia for wildlife spotting. It's a rare combo that lets you witness conservation efforts up close and go searching for animals in their natural habitat—no zoos, no crowds, just pure nature. Unlike other trips that rush you through the area, this one includes comfortable stays at two resorts equally immersed in nature—one nestled in the rainforest surrounded by fruit trees, and the other along the Kinabatangan riverbank. You'll wake up to the call of hornbills, float past proboscis monkeys and pygmy elephants, and fall asleep to jungle sounds. This is ideal for conscious travellers who want a deeper, more meaningful nature experience in Borneo—and are happy trading city comforts for calm, green surroundings. Great for nature lovers, couples, and families with curious kids. If you’re all about spotting rare animals, visiting ethical sanctuaries, and staying somewhere peaceful and off-grid, you’ll love this trip.
