Borneo expeditions

We first went to the island of Borneo (Malaysian state of Sabah) in 1987 and since 2003 have run over 20 expeditions in Sabah, North Borneo.

Why volunteer in Borneo?

Find out more about Malaysian Borneo

Located on the island of Borneo, Sabah has it all: stunning mountain terrain, equatorial rainforests, and some of the most beautiful islands in the world. Borneo is home to a unique range of plant, insect and animal species found nowhere else on the planet. It also boasts rich marine life with some of the best dive spots in the world. But it is its rich mix of cultures, people and history that Sabah has most to shout about. Over 30 different tribes live in Sabah speaking over 80 different dialects. The people of Sabah practice many different religions, all living and working together to make this a wonderfully friendly place to spend time volunteering on a Borneo expedition.

Projects
Doing volunteer work in Borneo you could be living and working among communities to improve health and educational services, living in an unexplored jungle whilst building a hanging suspension bridge and trekking across some of Sabah's most rugged terrain.
