Ready for an unforgettable wildlife adventure in the heart of Borneo? Join our Borneo Wildlife Safari & Rainforest Conservation Program and experience one of Southeast Asia's most exciting rainforest destinations while helping protect its incredible wildlife!
This unique volunteering experience takes place along the beautiful Lower Kinabatangan River in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. The surrounding rainforest is home to an incredible variety of animals, including wild orangutans, pygmy elephants, proboscis monkeys, hornbills, gibbons and many other fascinating species.
Sadly, Borneo's wildlife faces increasing threats from deforestation and habitat loss. By joining this program, you will help restore important rainforest habitats while discovering the natural beauty and local culture of this amazing island.
An Incredible Wildlife Experience
One of the most exciting parts of the program is exploring the Kinabatangan River, famous for its rich wildlife.
During your river excursions, keep your eyes open for wild orangutans resting in the treetops, proboscis monkeys jumping between branches, colourful hornbills flying overhead and perhaps even Borneo's pygmy elephants along the riverbanks!
Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, but exploring this remarkable rainforest offers an unforgettable experience for nature lovers.
Towards the end of your stay, you will also visit local orangutan and sun bear conservation centres and a rainforest discovery centre to learn more about Borneo's wildlife and the efforts to protect it.
Live and Experience Local Bornean Culture
During your project, you will stay in the Kinabatangan River region and experience life in a traditional Malaysian village.
You will have opportunities to meet local families, enjoy meals with community members and discover the traditions of the Orang Sungai, also known as the "People of the River."
This is a wonderful opportunity to experience a different culture while contributing to a wildlife conservation project.
Who Can Join?
This program is perfect for wildlife enthusiasts, nature lovers, gap-year travellers, students and anyone looking for a meaningful adventure abroad.
No previous conservation experience is required! You simply need to be at least 18 years old, enjoy being outdoors and be willing to take part in practical conservation work.
Choose between a 7-day or 12-day experience, combining wildlife conservation, rainforest exploration and cultural discovery.
Join us in Borneo and help protect one of the world's most amazing rainforest ecosystems!
