Borneo, a realm of ancient rainforests and vibrant wildlife, offers an unparalleled opportunity to witness orangutans in their natural habitat. Whether you envision a luxurious escape for two, an adventurous family expedition, or a solo journey of discovery, Briggate Travel will curate an experience that resonates with your soul.

CHOOSING YOUR ORANGUTAN ADVENTURE: MALAYSIA OR INDONESIA?

Borneo's orangutan populations are spread across both Malaysian and Indonesian territories, each offering distinct advantages for wildlife enthusiasts. Deciding which side to explore depends on your travel style and priorities. Let our expertise guide you to the perfect match.

Malaysian Borneo:

* Sabah: A haven for wildlife encounters, Sabah boasts diverse ecosystems teeming with orangutans, pygmy elephants, and a kaleidoscope of birdlife. Explore the renowned Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, cruise the Kinabatangan River for unparalleled wildlife viewing, or delve into the pristine rainforests of Danum Valley. For a truly off-the-beaten-track experience, consider the Deramakot Forest Reserve, a model of sustainable forestry.

* Sarawak: While orangutan sightings in the wild are rare in Sarawak, the Semenggoh Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre provides a heartwarming opportunity to observe these gentle giants. Combine your visit with cultural immersion, exploring Iban longhouses and cruising the Santubong River in search of Irrawaddy dolphins and proboscis monkeys.

Indonesian Borneo (Kalimantan):

* Tanjung Puting National Park: Embark on a true adventure to Tanjung Puting, where orangutans roam freely in a protected haven. Cruise the Sekonyer River on a traditional klotok, witness orangutans gathering at feeding stations, and experience the magic of the rainforest under a canopy of stars.
