Kota Kinabalu to Kota Kinabalu – 8 Days
This enchanting 8-day journey begins in Kota Kinabalu, where travellers meet and bond with their group. The tour is a blend of cultural immersion and natural exploration, starting with a visit to the local communities of Tambatuon village and a hands-on cooking class using freshly picked ingredients. Travellers then embark on an adventure through Sabah's longest river, the Kinabatangan, where they stay in a jungle lodge and embark on river cruises to observe the region's rich wildlife.
As the journey continues, guests visit Sepilok, a sanctuary for the rehabilitation of orangutans and sun bears. The trip culminates with a visit to Pulau Libaran, known for its sea turtle conservation efforts. The tour offers a unique opportunity to connect with Borneo's vibrant culture, diverse ecosystems, and rare wildlife. It's an ideal blend of relaxation, adventure, and education, all set against the backdrop of Malaysia's stunning natural landscapes.
KINABATANGAN RIVER CRUISES: A highlight of the tour is cruising through the Kinabatangan River. This experience allows guests to witness diverse wildlife, including proboscis monkeys, pygmy elephants, and exotic birds, in their natural habitat.
SEPILOK ORANGUTAN REHABILITATION CENTRE: The visit to this centre is a poignant and educational experience, offering insights into the lives of rescued orangutans and efforts to reintroduce them into the wild.
LIBARAN ISLAND TURTLE EXPERIENCE: This part of the trip focuses on sea turtle conservation. Guests can observe turtles in their natural environment and learn about conservation efforts, making it a memorable and impactful experience.
The difference with the Asian Geographical is, that each of our holidays is designed with extreme precision of a mountaineering expedition.
Discover Borneo's marvels in an eight-day adventure across east Sabah. From the vibrant streets of Kota Kinabalu to the wildlife-rich jungles and Libaran Island's natural beauty, encounter orangutans, explore dense canopies, and relish the stunning coastlines teeming with tropical life. Borneo offers an unparalleled, close-at-hand experience.

YOUR TRIP DESIGN, PACE & FLEXIBILITY: This is a guided small-group itinerary with a fixed 8-day route focused on East Sabah’s headline wildlife areas. The programme is sequenced to maximise time on the river and in the forest, rather than rushing between too many locations, and it typically involves early starts to catch the best animal activity. Because this is a scheduled departure, the overall structure is set, but we can advise on the best pre/post nights, flight timings, and optional extensions (for example extra wildlife nights or a beach add-on) to soften travel and increase viewing time.
PRIVATE GUIDES, DRIVERS & ON-THE-GROUND SUPPORT: You will be supported by an experienced tour leader and specialist local guides, with trusted local teams handling transfers, permits, boat operations and lodge logistics. Group sizes are kept small to improve wildlife etiquette and minimise waiting times for boats and trails. Timing is managed carefully around river conditions, weather, park rules and animal movement, and we will adjust the day’s order where needed to protect the key experiences. In remote areas, contingency planning is built in, so disruptions are handled calmly and professionally.
ACCOMMODATION STANDARDS & MEAL BASIS: Accommodation is selected for comfort, reliability and, above all, proximity to the wildlife zones, using good-quality hotels in gateway towns and the best available lodges in remote areas where choice is limited. Expect an adventure-led standard rather than ultra-luxury, with the best stays driven by access to river cruising and forest habitats. Meals are usually more inclusive during lodge stays (often breakfast and selected lunches/dinners), with more flexibility in towns; your final travel pack will confirm what is included each day. Dietary needs are normally manageable, but options can narrow in remote lodges, so we plan ahead.
FLIGHTS, VISAS, HEALTH & TRAVEL INSURANCE: East Sabah logistics typically involve internal flights and/or longer road transfers to reach the key habitats efficiently, plus river cruises and guided forest walks. Activity levels are generally moderate, with humid conditions, uneven paths, steps, and early starts. Entry requirements depend on your passport and routing; you remain responsible for meeting visa and entry rules, and we will provide practical guidance on typical requirements and timing. Comprehensive travel insurance is essential, including medical cover and disruption; for remote areas, ensure your policy is suitable for nature-based activities and that it covers any planned excursions.
COSTING, PAYMENTS, CHANGES & CANCELLATIONS: Pricing reflects the cost of operating in remote wildlife regions with specialist guiding, boats, park access and limited-inventory lodge accommodation. Key drivers include seasonality, lodge availability, boat logistics, and the cost/availability of internal flights. Once booked, changes can trigger supplier amendment fees and fare differences, particularly for flights and capacity-controlled lodges. Where suppliers require deposits or earlier payment deadlines, we will confirm exactly what is due and by when before taking payment or committing to changes. You will receive clear documentation of the applicable terms, deadlines and cancellation conditions.
