Borneo is the third-largest island in the world and the largest in Asia. It has a rich ecology, unique wildlife and diverse culture. It is truly a gem of a place with a lot of things you can do.
Borneo is incredibly biodiverse and is estimated to be home to around 222 mammals (including 44 endemic; not found anywhere else), 420 birds (37 endemic), 100 amphibians and 394 fish (19 endemic).
Mirroring the island’s natural diversity and the tides of change that have swept through over the centuries, Borneo’s people are a mosaic of culturally distinct indigenous groups scattered across the landscape.
Although Borneo conjures images of dense tropical rainforests, the landscape offers varied habitats: mangroves, swamp forests, ironwood, heath and montane forests. These areas form a complex ecosystem that has evolved over thousands of years.
Borneo is blessed with a rich variety of traditional food created by its many tribes and indigenous groups. They are able to turn wild plants, herbs and fruits into culinary masterpieces that will tantalise your senses.
