Brunei, a small, peaceful Sultanate in the north east of Borneo, a place that many overlook, but why?

When we talk to other travellers, Brunei never seems to be on anyone’s radar, again I ask, why?

And why was Brunei a place we wanted to visit?

The first thing that struck me as we drove through the border of Malaysia into Brunei was how green it looked, the second was how cheap the petrol was! At 30c (20p) per litre for diesel and 53c (30p) for petrol, this oil rich country can afford to preserve its trees and nature, and, as a lover of jungles, it was the pristine tropical rainforests that attracted us to this country.

Brunei’s marketing boasts “A Kingdom of Unexpected Treasures”, but did it live up to this claim?

When you are thinking of visiting the jungle, is the rainforest of Brunei in Borneo somewhere you have considered? Let me tell you, it definitely should be! Scientists believe that the Bornean jungle could be as old as 130 million years, making it the oldest on the planet. 

But why, out of all the other jungles you can visit, should Ulu Temburong in Brunei be the one you choose?
