| Babel Travel Destination - Borneo |
| If you love nothing more than immersing yourself in local culture and experiencing some unforgettable adventures, beautiful Borneo is undoubtedly the place for you. As soon as you set foot on this enchanting green land, your inner wild child will be released and captivated by all the mystique Borneo has to offer. Experience the natural wonder and wildlife of Sarawak’s canopy jungles, trek to the lofty heights of mighty Mount Kinabalu, relax on the white sands of stunning Turtle Island, sample some local rice wine (at your own risk!) and be seduced by the adorable orangutans. Borneo is a blend of adventure, relaxation, stunning sights and unique experiences and gracious local people who will welcome you into their lives and treat you like their own.

| Mount Kinabalu |
| Mt Kinabalu is the highest mountain between the Himalayas and New Guinea. Hopefully you'll catch a glimpse of the summit, which in the afternoon is often shrouded in cloud. The huge rock monolith looms over us as a daunting reminder of the climb we are about to embark on but don't be discouraged, it's a rewarding experience! |
| Sepilok Orangutan Reserve |
| Sepilok is one of the highlights of the trip where you'll get to meet the adorable 'wild men of Borneo'. Orang-utans and their human like features are a truely unforgetable experience. The centre is an excellent example of active conservation, re-introducing domesticated, injured and orphaned orang-utans back into the wild. |
| Turtle Island |
|
Travelling past fishing villages and bamboo fish traps, we head out to Turtle Island where every night of the year giant green turtles come ashore to lay their eggs. In the evening, we hope to witness this heartwarming display and help the researchers as they release protected hatchlings and guide them in their frantic dash to the ocean. It is a moving experience that makes you think twice about trying illegally traded turtle egg delicacies.
