The world’s largest flower – the Rafflesia – blooms along the roadsides of Kota Kinabalu, your city gateway to the Borneo rainforest. Venture deep into the precious jungle preserves of the Kinabatangan River and Danum Valley, where you’ll feel time drift away, experiencing a place virtually untouched by modern development. Rainforest cruises, treks and canopy walks with a professional nature guide will reveal the wild beauty of Borneo from every angle. Open yourself up to once-in-a-lifetime wildlife encounters, from exotic birds, to wild cats, and of course, the critically endangered great orangutan.
