Borneo Pygmy Elephant Tour
The Borneo Pygmy Elephant can be found at the Nort Eastern Part of
Kalimantan Island in Indonesia. Pygmy
elephants are living in Asia and Africa, while those differs, The
Borneo Pygmy Elephant is
inhabiting the Tropical Rainforest of Nort Borneo ( including Sabah ),
it was long know as the Asian Elephant.
Borneo Island is
a intriguing history of Sultan Kingdoms and traditional Dayak
Tribes, with a wealth of ecological and cultural treasures that survive
deep within the rainforest jungle of Indonesia ’s largest
island. With its legacy of Chinese, Malay, Hindu, Muslim, and Dutch
influences, we discover a virtual mosaic of traditions flourishing in
the bustling seaports and riverside cities of Borneo.
Kalimantan ’s dense jungle and wide terrain of wetlands have
traditionally kept the region isolated from all but the adventurous
travelers, and along the upper reaches of the rivers, you can
discover the rich diversity of Kalimantan 's flora and fauna in the
deep jungle.
The
Expeditions are a collection of exploratories and Indonesia dream
destination journeys that reflect the particular passions and favorite
places. We created the Borneo adventure tours for those who search a
indigenous Dayak Culture in the deep dense jungle with it's exotic
flora and fauna. Borneo travelers will have an unforgettable
experience trip in Indonesia, however, it is designed
for those who are adventurous in body and spirit.
