Borneo brings a sense of adventure and remoteness to any expedition. The main jungle of Northern Borneo is one of the oldest and least changed in the world, with huge limestone cave systems, beautiful beaches, Mount Kinabalu and the orangutans at Sepliok. Borneo is also a destination of significant historical interest to Australians because of the infamous ANZAC death march from Sandakan - Ranau during WWII.
