Meet the Old Men of the Forest

The rainforests of Borneo are a haven for wildlife. Groups of monkeys and gibbons crash through the canopy, while the jungle floor is home to stalking Sumatran Tigers and rare forest elephants. The most elusive animal to spot is the Bornean Orangutan.

These endangered apes are known as the ‘Old Men of the Forest’ and many local wildlife tours offer the chance to trek into the jungle in search of them.

Living in the broadleaf forests of the island’s lowlands, the chance to see these intelligent animals in their natural habitat should not be missed.
