Land of the orangutan
Borneo and Brunei Wildlife Expedition
apes, longhouses, rainforests, sea turtles, sultans and a lot more
Aug 25 - Sep 06 2010
There is no true nature and adventure traveler, whose heart would not beat faster when hearing the word "Borneo". This Southeast Asian wonderland has always been associated with rugged mountains, rainforests, rivers, caves and headhunters. It is an irresistible paradise for nature travelers, extensively covered with the oldest rainforests on Earth. During the last 100 million years, unique life has evolved to this land, such as orangutans, proboscis monkeys, pitcher plants, the rafflesia, macaques, elephants and hundreds of birds. During our amazing expedition, we will attempt to encounter and photograph as many species and landscapes as possible. We will stay in the traditional longhouses of the Iban people, experience the largest colony of bats in the world, as they cover the skies when taking off at dusk, trek several jungle trails for wildlife, hike on the tallest mountain of Southeast Asia, watch semi-wild orphan orangutans, cruise hundreds of kilometers of pristine jungle waterways, watch sea turtles lay their eggs on pristine sandy beaches, and last, but not least, visit Brunei, the richest sultanate in the world. A true once-in-a-lifetime experience for all nature lovers and adventure travelers.
