Few countries in all of Asia can match Borneos diverse and spectacular wildlife. One of the easiest and most rewarding ways to experience it is by boat. Our skilful Malaysian guides take us into pristine rainforest following small rivers and streams, in water, so still the sky and lush forest are often a mirrored reflection.

Many different primates can be seen in family groups feeding and playing and we can get in close for the keen nature lovers. The Proboscis monkeys are fascinating to watch, leaping from tree to tree seemingly unaware of our presence. On our last visit we saw Orang Utan in the wild in several locations. Spectacular Hornbills, colourful Kingfishers and birds of prey are just a few of the bird species. Up to 8 species of Hornbill live near our Kinabatangan River Safari site. Sunsets over the river can be breathtaking and we often see fire flies at night.

Although June and July are part of the dry season the countryside remains lush and green and many plants are in flower. The world's largest flower "Rafflesia" can sometimes be found and on our last visit we photographed over 140 spectacular tropical orchids including slipper orchids. We also photographed some of Borneo's rhododendron begonias and many of the amazing pitcher plants. Meeting the Orang Utan face to face is a very special and emotional experience. They are very human like and inquisitive and in the rehabilitation sanctuaries will often descend from the trees for a close encounter, sometimes carrying a baby in their arms. Company director Clyde O'Donnell is your guide on most tours and will assist keen photographers to capture the flora and wildlife on film.
