The capital city of Kota Kinabalu is modern and safe, whilst retaining a relaxed island feel. The jungle is special - just the sights and sounds while being immersed in the rainforest environment is exciting enough, before you even lay eyes on the orang-utans. Add to this the warm hospitality of the islanders, and you'll struggle to find a better place to visit. Andy Burt - Travel Consultant Trip Highlights Cheeky Monkeys! Visit Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary to witness these big-nosed creatures up to their usual monkey business before travelling to Sepilok, home of the orang-utan rehabilitation project to see Borneo's `wild men' up close. Pulau Tiga National Park Enjoy an entire day of beachside bliss at an idyllic island getaway. Swim in the clear, turquoise waters or snorkel among colourful fish and sea turtles. Visit one of the nearby bubbling mud volcanoes or simply relax on the white-sand beaches. Kinabatangan Jungle Camp Spend a night camping in the Jungle where you will head out in a longboat or creep out on foot to try and spot Borneo's most famous wildlife, from macaques, proboscis monkeys, crocodiles and perhaps even wild orang-utans.
