Sandwiched between the South China, Sulu and Celebes Seas, Borneo is the third biggest island in the world and also the only island which is home to three nations: Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei. Its biodiversity is also one of the greatest in the world, with tropical rainforest and rivers covering over 70 percent of Malaysian Borneo and hundreds of unique flora and fauna species. Despite extensive destruction of its rainforests over the past couple of decades, Borneo remains a floating natural paradise of tropical rainforest, jungle and wild animals. Its past is one of highlands, islands, head-hunters, sultanates and sea-going myths and therefore offers a rich cultural experience for adventure travelers, divers and sunbathers alike.

Bradt Borneo,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Borneo (Bradt Travel Guide) (Paperback)
There aren't the usual number of guide books on Borneo; found Bradt and LP. The info in both books complements each other; one stronger in travel details(LP) and the other in general information and details on fana/flora (BRADT). I've used Bradt for Madagascar and found it very useful, so hope the same for Borneo.
