LOSE YOUR HEAD IN BORNEO: £100PP OFF 8 AUGUST DEPARTURE
Venture deep into Borneo to the jungle heart of Sarawak, one of South East Asia’ best kept secrets. There adventurous lovers can stay with Iban hosts, hike the jungle trails, try Iban style fishing and swim at the nearby waterfall. Although once feared due to their practice of headhunting, the Iban people now live peacefully, living off the land and more likely to bring examples of modern living back from their travels rather than heads! There are also plenty of chances to get close to the local wildlife, from the wild boar, monitor lizards and proboscis monkeys in the Bako National Park to learning about wildlife protection and orangutan rehabilitation in Sepilok.
OFFER Save £100 on the 8 August 2010 departure of Borneo Adventure reducing the price from £2149 to £2049pp. This price includes return flights, ten nights accommodation (five nights hotel, four nights lodge, one night chalet), most meals (ten breakfasts, six lunches, five dinners) and transport (minibus, longboat, domestic flight, boat).
