The World's Most Pristine Forests

Ulu Segama-Malua Reserve, Malaysia

They’re home to 3,000 orangutans, but the pristine forests of Ulu Segama-Malua are under intense pressure. Ironically, much of the land is being cleared to farm palm oil, a key ingredient in biofuel.

How to Go: Visitors can explore this challenging region on an Abercrombie & Kent custom itinerary; don’t miss a suggested side trip into Sepilok Forest Reserve to see the feeding of orphaned orangutans at the Orangutan Rehabilitation Center.
