Sustainable Borneo Travel: Cruising on the Kinabatangan River

February 11, 2017 by Karen Turner 21 Comments

I loved the National Geographic movies about the ecosystems of the world as a child, so I always dreamed of visiting Borneo. However, Borneo is a huge island composed of three countries, so you need to decide where you’re going to go.
