Orang-utan & Ibans

Spend time in an Iban's tribal longhouse and visit endangered orang-utan of Borneo's Sabah and Sarawak regions.

Male orang-utan, Sepilok.

Malaysian Borneo’s vast jungles are some of the last wildlife havens in Southeast Asia. They are also home to unique tribes with ancient cultures and a real understanding of the forest.

Malaysian Borneo is also home to two well known orang-utan rehabilitation centres - Semenggok and Sepilok - where you will learn about the conservation of one of our closest relatives and support the work carried out there.

The rainforest still house the indigenous Iban Headhunter tribes, who still live in their traditional longhouses.
