Danum Valley

A spectacular lodge in the heart of the rainforest

A 3-day, 2-night nature discovery programme in the spectacular Danum Valley Conservation Area, of Malaysia’s eastern Sabah State. This remote valley is home to some of Borneo’s best-preserved and most magnificent lowland tropical jungle reserves and accompanying wildlife populations, as well as conveniently being the site of the delightful and well-appointed Danum Valley Rainforest Lodge. This exciting 3-day extension includes a canopy walkway, a night jeep safari, jungle hikes and cave exploration in addition to plenty of opportunities to discover the varied and fascinating flora and fauna of Sabah’s largest tract of preserved lowland rainforest. (The precise itinerary and activities are up to you and fully flexible and you can discuss options and timing with your personal Lodge guide.)

The Danum Valley was previously included in our standard Borneo itineraries, however, to be frank, we felt the admittedly high cost of the Rainforest Lodge package made the overall tour less accessible to many potential travellers so, not wanting to remove the site completely – as we’re convinced it’s certainly one of the best sites for discovering the truly spectacular flora and fauna of the Island’s sadly dwindling rainforests – we’ve kept it as an optional add-on.

This extension is recommended following on from either our 1 week Sabah, the Land Below the Wind or 2-week Sabah and Sarawak Borneo Adventure tours.

The published price includes full board at the well-appointed resort and spa plus a personal nature guide and accommodation in comfortable, individual wooden chalets with private balconies. For 2 persons, sharing a twin or double deluxe chalet, the cost is £985 per person and for a single person, £1095.

The land transfer from our Borneo tours’ final destination, Kinabatangan to Danum is included as well as a transfer to, and flight from, the nearest airport, Lahad Datu, to Kota Kinabalu International Airport at the end of your extension.
