tropical rivers by canoe, and witness unique wildlife in rehabilitation centres
and in the wild. This is an ideal combination of natural history and cultural
encounters with opportunities for hiking.
Lying 200 nautical miles east of Bali, Komodo National Park is nestled between
the large islands of Sumbawa and Flores. This unique biosphere was born in the
great volcanic uplift that formed Sumatra, Java, Bali, and the islands eastward
toward Papua New Guinea. Due to a combination of ancient volcanic eruptions and
more recent tectonic uplift of sedimentary sea beds, most of the Komodo National
Park is dry, rugged, and hilly. The irregular coastline is indented with rocky
headlands and sandy bays, many of which are framed by soaring volcanic cliffs.
Komodo National Park encompasses most of the recognized habitat of the largest
known lizard in the world, the famous Komodo dragon. The Park is also home to
Sunda deer, wild buffalos, wild boars, macaques, and wild horses. Although all
the large mammals have been introduced by man, indigenous frogs, snakes, and
lizards also live on the island. Over 150 species of birds have been identified
in Komodo National Park, many of which are migratory and more representative of
Australasian than Asiatic species. Travel next to the Borneo Rainforest Lodge in
Malaysian Borneo. Here you will have the chance to explore the lush rainforests
and observe the wonderful wildlife of this area.
