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. a
