A true expedition combining challenging physical activity with in-depth exploration of the jungle and the people and wildlife that make it their home. Starting in Mulu National Park, we visit the stunning limestone caves and try out some adventure caving. We trek through dense jungle, then build rafts to float downstream to a traditional Iban longhouse - at 300m long it is literally a village under one roof!

Travelling out again by longboat, we move on to the biggest challenge of our trip - the pre-dawn ascent of Mount Kinabalu (4101m). Finally we drive to the largest Orang Utan rehabilitation centre in the world at Sepilok where we can learn about the habits and conservation of the 'orange man of the jungle'.
