Keep your eyes open for orangutans as we journey to Sukhau Rainforest Lodge on the Kinabatangan River.

You can see Orangutans in a number of places in Malaysian Borneo and Kalimantan, Indonesia. This picutre was taken at Camp Leakey, Kalimantan.

Many of the Orangutans which are easiest to see are in the process of rehabilitation. Some of them never return completely to the wild and appear quite tame. But be careful, they are very strong.

Sometimes the resident orangutans await the arrival of visitors on the dock at Camp Leakey.

The highest point in Borneo is Mt Kinabalu. You can climb it in two days, with an overnight at a modest dormitory half way up the mountain.

Clear days are rare on Mt Kinabalu. The national park surrounding the peak is a rainforest holding many of the endemic plants and animals of Borneo.

Rafflelesia, the world's largest flower, occurs in the rainforests of Borneo. It is reliably observed in bloom at several sites near Mt. Kinabalu.

The Discover Borneo itinerary includes a rainforest canopy tour in Kinabalu National Park.
