Title – Jungle Lodge
Date – August 1999
Location - Sabah – Borneo Island - Malaysia
Accommodation comes in all shapes and sizes, for those not willing to part with large sums of money on swanky hotels, there are many options to choose from; sometimes they are the only options available.
The jungle of Borneo Island is no place to look for a 5 star hotel at the last minute, because they are few and far between. Often you will only find jungle lodges like this one in the heart of Sabah. Even then you might find them full and be relegated to creating your own space in-between other peoples rooms. But after a long trek through the jungle, all that is needed is a thin mattress and a mosquito net to satisfy your needs; when you wake up in this magical setting in the heart of the rainforest, the discomfort of the conditions is forgotten in a heart beat.
As part of our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop we look at accommodation options in various countries. We offer tips on the best way to choose between those on offer and how to manage when the options are limited.
