About Borneo


Borneo my destination,

Borneo (Indonesian: Kalimantan; Malay: Borneo) is the third largest island in the world, located at the geographic centre of Maritime Southeast Asia. Politically, the island is divided between three countries: Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei. Approximately 73% of the island is Indonesian territory; the Indonesian name for the island, Kalimantan, is used in English to refer to the Indonesian-controlled territory. The Malaysian states of Sarawak and Sabah (East Malaysia), in the north, occupy about 26% of the island. The sovereign state of Brunei, located on the north coast, comprises about 1% of Boreno's land mass.
