Sabah, in Borneo's far north, brings together unspoilt rainforests - prime orangutan habitat
- with some of the world's most phenomenal scuba diving. More excellent diving awaits
south of the Indonesian border on Kalimantan's east coast, and there's plenty of jungle ad-
venture to be had inland, along and between Kalimantan's major rivers. On the north coast,
Sarawak is home to the island's most accessible national parks - based in the sophisticated
but laid-back city of Kuching, you can take day trips to see orangutans and (if you're
lucky) a 75cm-wide Rafflesia flower, hike in the jungle and visit longhouse communities.
Tiny Brunei, with a tempo and culinary customs all its own, offers visitors pristine habitats
and a modernising take on Malay traditions.
