Visit Maliau Basin on a trip to Borneo

Maliau Basin, Borneo

Maliau Basin is Southeast Asia’s 'Lost World', an area almost the size of Singapore, home to one of the most diverse collections of flora and fauna on earth.

Located in the southern region of central Sabah, just 30 miles from the Indonesia border, Maliau Basin has remained largely untouched due to its inaccessibility.

Wildlife of the Maliau Basin

Researchers in the park over the last 20 years have spotted Sumatran rhino, Asian pygmy elephants, clouded leopards, orangutans and several species of monkey.

Fitness certificates

Due to its remote nature, fitness certificates are required for the four night visit to this region. Accommodation is in camp dormitories with shared facilities.
