Borneo Charity Challenges

Spectacular landscapes, exotic wildlife and vibrant indigenous cultures make Borneo an impressive choice for your next charity challenge. The island’s two Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak are plucked straight from a naturalist’s daydream: remote rivers and jungle trails cut paths through untouched and unspoiled wilderness, leading to peaceful villages where cultural traditions are preserved.

Raise money for your favourite cause as you climb to the summit of Mount Kinabalu, mountain bike down twisting jungle tracks and trek through Borneo’s virgin rainforests— some of the most biodiverse on the planet.

Head to the World Heritage listed Gunung Mulu National Park to explore caves and climb razor-sharp limestone pinnacles, discover an abundance of wildlife including proboscis monkeys, orangutans, macaques, pygmy elephants, sun bears and butterflies, and visit the famous Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary, the world’s largest of its kind.

Our charity challenge experts can create a customised itinerary for your group or can match you with one of our upcoming challenges. Get in touch today and start planning your Borneo adventure for a cause!

Custom made charity challenges

A custom made itinerary is the ultimate way to see the world how YOU want. They are created especially for you, giving you complete freedom to choose what you want to see, where you want to go and when you want to do it. If you love our current itineraries but want to customise it privately as a couple, a group of friends, family, club, business or school, you have the freedom to add or remove as many elements as you like to suit the interests of your group. Alternatively, you can start with a blank canvas and create a new and exciting itinerary from scratch! Our well-travelled consultants can give you firsthand suggestions and eliminate any uncertainty with trip planning to ensure you maximise the quality of your experience and get truly off the beaten track. Simply email, phone or visit us to start planning your dream adventure.

Trip reviews

Responsible travel in Borneo

 

Wildlife conservation

We sponsor and participate in orangutan nest surveys and partner with NGOs to conduct environmental research.

Cultural preservation

For over 25 years we have worked with Iban communities at Batang Ai as part of our "Ulu Ai Project" to promote culture and traditions such as weaving and pottery.

Animal welfare focus

The animal encounters on our itineraries in Borneo are in the wild, with the exception of visiting Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary, a rehabilitation centre for orphaned baby orangutans. When viewing wildlife, we keep a safe distance and follow local wildlife watching by-laws of forestry regulations.
