Borneo and Malaysia entice the traveller seeking an exciting and different holiday. Regardless of whether you desire a holiday relaxing at one of the fabulous beach resorts, a complete adventure safari including a climb up Mt Kinabalu, a visit to the indigenous tribes with a stay in a longhouse, or a comfortable tailor made itinerary, Borneo and Malaysia promise rewarding and memorable holiday experiences.

Borneo - the Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak, the small Sultanate of Brunei and Indonesian Kalimantan - really satisfies the travellers spirit. A land covered with mountains and jungles bursting with colourful flora, fauna, untamed beauty and magnificent beaches. Borneo is a land of diversity with ancient traditions and customs; a potpourri of cultures - Malay, Chinese, Indonesians, Eurasians and Dayaks (the generic name used to define the multitude of different tribes). Borneo is home to a variety of wildlife, in particular, the orang utans, proboscis monkeys, macaques, rare hornbills, green turtles, elephants and rhinoceros. For the birding enthusiast, some 600 species of birds inhabit the coastal lowland, high mountain areas and cave systems.

Malaysia offers swaying palms, clear blue skies and sandy beaches enticing the traveller to seek an experience “away from it all”. Travelling down the East Coast, journey through areas steeped in traditions and folklore that time has not changed. Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, is a modern city but has never lost sight of its traditional Moorish heritage. Penang, “the Pearl of the Orient”, has always captured the imagination of travellers with its colonial past, gardens, hills and varieties of cuisine. Visit ancient Malacca, founded in the 15th Century, and journey to the colonial hill station areas of Fraser Hill and the Cameron Highlands, 5000ft above sea level. For those looking for something adventurous, a trip to Taman Negara National Park boasts a myriad of wildlife and a great variety of birdlife.
