Physical Accommodation

Our trips present the real tribal and natural interior of Sarawak, the off-the-beaten-path as is.

We add nothing fancy and make no attempt to emulate the comforts or luxuries of hotel living.

We do, however, provide life jackets in our long boats, install additional cross members to serve as backrests and carry roll-up mattresses, pillows, light coverlets, and mosquito nettings at longhouses and Iban biliks we visit.

We take an ice chest, fresh fruit, and other fresh and canned food along for our Iban host families to prepare and serve traditional Iban family style.

For short trips, we take bottled mineral or boiled water from Kapit with us. For longer trips, we rely on boiled water prepared by host families.

We do help our visitors get around, arrange Iban companions to lean on, offer a helping hand, and generally try to push, pull, or do whatever it is to get our guests where we’re going with reasonable comfort and dignity!

While we have never had an accidental injury or serious illness among our travelers during eight years of experience, we must point out that real hazards necessarily accompany such travel.

Falls on jungle paths or log stairs near longhouses, other accidents, and sudden illness (which could, of course, strike anywhere) are an appreciable risk.

Here, sophisticated medical service will be hours, even days distant, quality and availability of trauma care uncertain, and evacuation problematic.

Take a look at our travel tips for further information for how to prepare in the jungles of Borneo.
