Orang-utans. Humans’ closest living relatives. Sun Bears. World’s largest flowers. Fiery sunsets. Cacophony of sounds. Jungle survival skills – They all come together in this Lost World of Borneo. Connect with the best of Nature -- as a parent-child team -- on this little journey into wilderness. Sabah, a province of Malaysia, is a place that can only be experienced, not described!
The hub of wildlife conservation, Sandakan is a great place to start our journey into one of the oldest rainforests in the World. The flora and fauna in the Borneo jungle is an endless mystery and even today no one can claim to have seen it all. Unwind and enjoy a welcome dinner surrounded by the chants and sounds of the jungle.
Orangutan, Sun Bear encounters start at Sepilok and we hope to continue the experiences as we step deeper into the Borneo rainforest. The banks of the Kinabatangan River make for some great viewing: holiday with orangutans, pygmy elephants, crocodiles, proboscis monkeys, macaques, hornbills and myriad of birds living in the region.
If you thought you had seen it all, surprises await as we drive to the foothills of Mount Kinabalu. Get a kick of authenticity as you share home with the local community. Spend the evening exchanging stories with the elders of Kadazan –Dusun tribe. The Headhunters of Borneo and their Bobohizan, a High Priestess, medicine woman and medium may teach you a trick or two!
Now that you are fully acclimatized to the sounds of the jungle, it’s time to live by your wits alone. Can you learn to survive on plants and the riches of nature surrounding you? Give your child company as both of you navigate the complexities of the rain forest in your Borneo adventure travel! Learn about medicinal benefits of the plants and local traditions that work with nature to support survival.
Enjoy soaking up the friendly atmosphere, cheery markets, food stalls and one of the world’s best sunsets as we head into civilisation. Time to expand our comfort zones as we go snorkelling in the hope of seeing Sharks, turtles and other marine life. Take this opportunity to snorkel some of the best coral reefs in the region as you are led by PADI professionals.

Travel expands a kid's world! Exposing them to new experiences, cultures lays a strong foundation for meaningful relations. It makes them more open to try new things and less cautious of people and scenarios that are not familiar to them. This ultimately enhances their personality, makes them more open and adaptive to change.
We recommend consulting a pediatrician about travel vaccines, especially for tropical regions. Carry insect repellent, child-safe sunscreen, and a basic first aid kit for minor issues
All encounters are non-contact and take place under controlled, respectful conditions to ensure the safety of both visitors and animals. Viewing platforms and safe distances are maintained at all times.
The itinerary is moderately active but designed to be family-friendly. Activities such as jungle walks, cultural visits, and boat rides are suitable for children aged 6 and above with reasonable fitness levels.
