Borneo is a destination most of our agents place a client on once a decade. That is roughly the right frequency. There are not many trips in our portfolio that come back to the office with the same line in the debrief — send me more like that — but Danum Valley is one of them.
The number that matters is 130 million. The lowland dipterocarp rainforest of Sabah is among the oldest forest on earth, predating the Amazon by tens of millions of years. The Danum Valley Conservation Area covers 438 square kilometres of it, which has never been logged, cleared, or farmed. There are no roads into it. The access track from Lahad Datu is privately controlled by Yayasan Sabah, the state forestry foundation, and there is one lodge inside the conservation area: Borneo Rainforest Lodge.
