This ecotour
is crafted to raise awareness of the conservation efforts made in Sarawak, Borneo, to bring harmony between people and orangutans. The 14-days/13-night ecotour is a voyage of discovery, giving you one-day "back stage passes" to see captive orangutans being rehabilitated at Matang Wildlife Centre, the released semi-wild orangutans of Semenggoh Nature Reserve, the seven different habitats of Borneo in the amazing National Park at Bako and then one week into the rainforest to meet the descendents of the legendary headhunters of Borneo, the Iban tribes, now the custodians of the wild orangutans of Batang Ai National Park.
You will discover more about the positive conservation efforts being made, uncovering some of the existing problems and some of the solutions, to sustain safe orangutan populations in the safe havens of Malaysia.
1) Your tour employs local guides, supports local communities wishing to live in harmony with their rainforest home, and demonstrates that orangutans and forests are worth more alive than chopped down. This is a virtuous circle, generating interest within the local community and authorities to place value on their natural heritage and virtually guarantees the protection of orangutan populations in this area.
2) You will gain an insight into the world of the orangutan and learn more about conservation. You will experience a meaningful holiday that you will be able to share with others, increasing the awareness of this amazing great ape.
3) Know that you are travelling with a company that is run by environmentalists, not big business. Your values are shared by us and your holiday will be run responsibly and environmentally.
Please note, this is considered moderately difficult tour. This is because there are a couple of treks that will take you up and down hillsides through the rainforest.
