Tour · 15 nights · with Travelsphere
A 15-night escorted tour with Travelsphere through Malaysian Borneo’s rainforests and wildlife habitats, concluding with a three-night stay in modern Singapore to contrast city life with jungle calm.
Highlights
Sepilok Orang-Utan Rehabilitation Centre feeding platform
Evening jungle walk for slow lorises and tarsiers
Morning and evening river cruises on the Kinabatangan River
Visit to Gomantong Cave limestone reserve
Multi-ethnic neighbourhood tours in Singapore
Travelsphere’s small-group tour begins in Kota Kinabalu, the capital of Sabah, where you’ll explore local villages and enjoy a cultural welcome. The route then leads east to Sepilok, home to the orangutan rehabilitation centre and sun bear sanctuary.
Journeys
From Sandakan you travel upriver into the Kinabatangan rainforest, staying in jungle lodges at Abai and Sukau. Morning and evening river cruises offer chances to spot pygmy elephants, hornbills and fireflies. The pace here allows time for quiet observation and a tree-planting project supported by the operator.
The final days contrast nature with city life in Singapore, where a local guide introduces ethnic neighbourhoods including Chinatown and Little India. There’s free time to see the Gardens by the Bay or take in the city’s skyline before flights home via Kota Kinabalu.
