Experience community, conservation & the jungle. Live with indigenous tribes, teach kids and protect their rainforest. Come face to face with the elusive orangutans.
A great opportunity to travel deep into the jungle to live and learn from two remote and unchanged indigenous tribes.
The first is with the traditional long house community of Tinangol, northern Sabah, to immerse yourself in the culture and traditions of the Rungus ethnic community. The second is at the very different village of Batu Puteh on the mighty Kinabatangan River in eastern Sabah where you can see up to 8 species of primates including the elusive orangutans swinging through the jungle on a daily basis!
After all this you will get a couple of days R&R in Kota Kinabalu where you can get stuck into modern shops and bars or if you have time visit one of the stunning remote islands for the laid back beach moment.
