    FAQ[Expand All]

    What’s the weather like in Borneo?

    Borneo enjoys a warm tropical climate all year round, with temperatures averaging between 27–32°C. Generally, the dry season runs from March to September, while the wet season lasts from October to February. However, these seasons are becoming less distinct, so you can often expect a mix of sunshine and short rain showers, usually sunny mornings followed by brief rain in the afternoon or evening. Light, breathable clothing and a rain jacket will keep you comfortable whatever the weather.

    Do I need leech socks, and where can I buy them?

    If you’ll be trekking in the rainforest, especially after rain, leech socks are definitely handy. You can bring your own or pick them up at outdoor shops in Kota Kinabalu or Sandakan. They may not be stylish, but they work perfectly! Tip: Tuck your pants into your leech socks for extra protection and peace of mind during your jungle walks.

    When is the best season for birdwatching in Borneo?

    Birdwatching is rewarding all year, but April to October is extra special thanks to breeding and fruiting seasons. Migratory species also pass through around September to November, which is a bonus for keen birders!

    What should I wear for trekking?

    Keep it light and comfortable! For trekking, quick-dry long pants, breathable tops, sturdy shoes, and leech socks are best.

    Is malaria a concern when travelling to Borneo?

    Malaria risk in the main tourist areas of Sabah and Sarawak is very low. While rare cases may occur in very remote villages or deep forest areas, most travellers never encounter it. You can enjoy your holiday with peace of mind.

    Do I need to take malaria pills for my trip?

    We recommend checking with your doctor before you travel. Some guests prefer to take malaria pills for extra reassurance, but honestly, the best protection is simple: apply mosquito repellent and wear the right attire such as long sleeves and light trousers, and you’ll be well covered.
