Tailor-made Borneo

Borneo has long fed the imagination of naturalists and travellers alike. The diversity of habitats supports a tremendous array of endearing and intriguing species - there are mammals, lizards and snakes, frogs that 'fly', fish that 'walk' on mud, monkeys that 'dive', plants that eat insects and flowers the size of dustbin lids. Borneo is a centre of biological richness for the Indo-Malayan region and a hot spot of world biodiversity. Ten hectares of rainforest in Borneo can support a greater number of tree species than occur in the whole of North America. The island is home to more bird species than are found in Europe and as many mammals as live on the island continent of Australia. Without question Sabah has some of the richest and most diverse parks and reserves in Borneo, which are easy to access with quality tourist facilities - it's an easy window for those wishing to experience Borneo's natural wonders, and recommended by Wildlife Worldwide.

Fact!
The Rafflesia is the world's largest flower, and also parasitic - it grows from the stems and roots of a climbing vine. You can see it at the Tambunan Rafflesia Reserve, two hours from Kota Kinabalu.
