Borneo expedition itinerary

There are four phases to the Borneo expedition. Take a look a the itinerary phases below.

1. Acclimatisation phase
Crocker Range, Sabah: A challenging 4-day trek from the heights of the Crocker Range National Park through primary and secondary rainforest. An ideal introduction to the heat and humidity of a jungle environment.

Bako National Park, Sarawak: A series of day treks in Sarawak’s oldest National Park. The park contains a great variety of flora and almost every type of vegetation in Borneo. It is also famous for its wildlife and is one of the best places to see the rare proboscis monkey.

2. Main Trekking phase in Borneo
The Kelabit Highlands in Sarawak offer a variety of testing and highly challenging treks through the jungle. Trekking may go through longhouse villages where local people still live in communal houses on stilts, and some routes may even involve river travel.

3. Project work in Borneo
There are two main options for projects in Borneo; conservation and community projects. Conservation and community projects can be completed in both Sabah and Sarawak. Community projects tend to involve living and interacting with local communities in small villages. These are great cultural experiences, and teams will really get to know the locals, their lifestyle and culture. There may also be the opportunity to do some manual labour to support the village.  Conservation projects will give teams the chance to work with a national park, forest reserve or similar organisation which will help in Borneo’s conservation efforts.

4. Rest and relaxation phase 
There is no shortage of beautiful coastline for snorkelling or simply relaxing on a beach. Teams can also choose to explore the amazing Niah Caves in Sarawak, or even visit the Orang Utan Sanctuary and see these fascinating animals close up!
