South East Asia
Borneo
Borneo is the third largest island in the world and is located in South East Asia. It comprises the Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak, the sultanate kingdom of Brunei and the Indonesian province of Kalimantan. This multicultural island is home to an enormous diversity of exotic flora, fauna and natural beauty. The extensive rainforest ecosystem that covers most of the island is the oldest in the world and the island also boasts the highest mountain in South East Asia, the mighty Mount Kinabalu.
Cambodia
The Kingdom of Cambodia is an enchanting country, with spectacular natural beauty, awe-inspiring cultural sites and captivating people. With a history that is both inspiring and depressing, Cambodia offers an adventurous, educational and moving experience that casts a spell on many who visit this outstanding part of the world and leaves you wanting more. Cambodia is famed for its impressive collection of ancient temples, the most famous of which is Angkor Wat, the world’s largest religious monument. Many of the scenes from the ‘Tomb Raider’ movie were filmed at the spectacular jungle temple of Ta Prohm.
The People
Borneo:
The state of Sabah is a cultural melting pot with a bewildering multi-cultural and multi-religious aspect, yet everyone lives together in harmony. Sabah boasts no less than 32 indigenous ethnic entities, speaking as many languages and over 50 dialects. The main indigenous group are the Kadazan Dusun, living around Kota Kinabalu. Next are the Bajau who live along the coast and the Murut who live in the interior and were once famous intrepid warriors and reputedly the last to give up the ancient custom of headhunting!
Cambodia:
Cambodia's greatest treasure is its people. Cambodia is one of the poorest countries in Asia and it is a tough existence for much of the population, yet thanks to an unbreakable spirit and infectious optimism, Cambodians will welcome you with smiling faces, incredible generosity and hospitality that will leave you with nothing but admiration and affection for the people you meet during your expedition.
