We are continuously monitoring and assessing the evolving situation with Covid-19 along with the event organisers. Health and safety is our top priority, and we will only run the event if it safe to do so within government guidelines. If the event cannot go ahead, we will look to postpone it to a later date.

You must be 18 years old or over to take part. The group size will be around 30, and will include people of all ages and from all backgrounds. Most will be on their own, but some will go with friends, partners or relatives.

Although you do not need to be an exceptionally fit person to take part, the trek poses a significant physical challenge and you will need to train properly beforehand. The more consistent with and committed you are to your training, the more you will enjoy the adventure.

We recommend you seek professional medical advice from your GP to ensure your vaccinations are up to date, including primary courses and boosters as recommended for living in the UK.

Your welcome pack will include a full packing list, but essential kit includes good quality walking boots, rucksack, lightweight walking trousers, waterproofs, a sunhat and a light scarf/bandana.

The accommodation will be a mixture of hotels on a twin share basis and wild camping sleeping in individual hammocks whilst on trek. These are tied to trees about two to three feet above the ground, you will set them up yourself with help from the guides 

All the water on the trek will be boiled or purified and safe to drink. Whilst in the jungle, you will eat the same as the people in the villages. They only eat what they can grow or farm locally, such as bread, rice, noodles, beans, fern plants, fruit, fish and chicken. For example, breakfast may consist of noodles, bread, fried/scrambled eggs, possibly meat and fruit if available. You may find meals can feel repetitive so we would suggest to bring some of your own snacks and treats too. Please let us know in advance of any special dietary requirements.

Sabah enjoys a tropical climate, with temperatures ranging from 22C to 30C (72-86F) in lowland areas throughout the year.  Although rain can occur at any time of the year, showers are generally brief. It is important to use a high factor sun cream and drink plenty of non-alcoholic fluid each day.

This will be at an additional cost and subject to availability. Please contact Ultimate Travel Company for more information.
