Day 1London
Overnight flight from the UK to Malaysia.
You will be met at the airport by an Audley representative who will take you to your private car for the transfer to your hotel in central Kuala Lumpur.
Today you will be taken on a private walking tour of Kuala Lumpur. You will see the main sights and also get a more in depth view of the city by taking local transport such as the monorail and visiting a local tea house to sample the famous teas!
You may like to visit the lake gardens for a walk around this tranquil area before you are taken on a guided trip to Putrajaya with it`s impressive gardens and architecture.
This morning you will be collected at the hotel and taken to the Cameron Highlands. The scenic journey sees you climbing into the cooler temperatures of the highlands. Once you have arrived at your hotel you may like to have a walk around the area and see why this is known as one of Malaysia`s most beautiful areas.
Enjoy a full day exploring the Cameron Highlands with your private guide. This is where all the tea is grown in Malaysia and the area is famous for its stunning scenery and Tudor style buildings.
Enjoy the day free to explore at your own time.
This morning you will be taken back to Kuala Lumpur with a stop en route to visit the `secret garden` in Petaling Jaya (only open on weekends).
After your short flight over to the island of Borneo you will be met by your new guide and taken to your hotel in Kota Kinabalu.
Take an early flight to Sandakan where you will begin your rainforest adventure with a visit to Sepilok Orang-utan Rehabilitation Centre. Here you can hopefully see orang-utan at close quarters and learn more about the work being done here. Head up the Kinabatangan River later this morning where you can expect to see number of wild species of bird and mammal in Borneo`s most prolific wildlife habitat.
Enjoy a full day exploring the Kinabatangan River on a private boat with your nature guide and boatman. You have two trips in the course of the day and will hopefully spot plenty of animals.
Your boat to Sandakan leaves at 9am so you have a bit of a lie in today!
In Sandakan you have the afternoon free and may like to visit the Rainforest Discovery Centre which has canopy walkways and an excellent orchid collection. As dusk falls you have a guided night walk through the Sepilok rainforest and may be lucky enough to see some of the nocturnal creatures that reside here such as flying fox, snakes and even tarsier.
Take the short flight back to Kota Kinabalu where you will be taken an hour up the coast to your beach hotel.
Relax by the pool or on the beach for your final full day away or visit the small nature reserve which is home to young orang-utan before they go to Sepilok.
Overnight flight from Borneo to the UK.
