Borneo-animals-jungle-mountains

Borneo is hot and humid, can rain alot. If you dont mind that and you love animals this is a place to go. From Orangutans, to Proboscous monkeys, to Macaque monkeys o Monitor lizards to turtles. Of course dont forget about the varied insect life.
Of course there is that little mountain called Kinabula and the jungle.

Malaysian Borneo is split into two states Sabah and Sarawak. You get a stamp in your passport for each state.

Pros and Cons

Pros:good wildlife and scenery. Few tourists, so no hassle
