Every day seemed to have its own standout highlight, from the initial speedboat ride into the jungle, the first encounter with the Orangutans. (more)Clive Davies
Never expected my first close encounter with Orangutans to be THAT close! For a novice 'photographer' that's a bonus.

Tabin Wildlife Reserve is a place to visit for everyone, the guides were really inspiration in their love of nature, the place where you can really get close to the animals... seeing the monkeys cross the river above my lodge or spotting an otter from my balcony is hardly an experience you can get anywhere else. (more)T. Titanilla Szabo
The most exciting part of the trip was experiencing wildlife in their natural environment and of course seeing a wild orangutan.

Memorable parts?
I can't name only one!! If I really had to choose, I'd say the Borneo rainforest
lodge in Danam Valley. Stunning location, amazingly helpful and knowledgeable staff and beautifully maintained lodges. Could not fault it.
Tips?
Even in the dry season, leech socks are necessary for Tabin and Danum Valley.
Buy buy them there, not online. MUCH cheaper! This is a BUSY schedule involving very early mornings most days, as that's when you're most likely to see wildlife.... (more)Liz Carr

Seeing all the wildlife was great especially for the kids -- monkeys & wild boar at Bako National Park, Semenggoh Orangutans' Center, & seeing the Irawaddy
Dolphins on the Santubong Wildlife Cruise. And the rainforest kayaking was definitely fun for the whole family. For my 14 yr old daughter, she would say that
having her half drunk can of Lychee drink stolen by a Macaque monkey at Bako was the highlight.

The punctuality and friendliness of all the operators was extraordinary. There was not a bad word to say about any of them. (more)Roderick Stevens

Memorable parts?
Luang Prabang and a day excursion to Pak Ou Caves and Kuang Si Falls
Tips?
Do not book with a travel Agent that does not send you a change of hotel booked and paid for since January and you get your final documents two weeks before you leave for the vacation to find you have been shoved into a hotel you did not know about or agree to and are then told it is too late to book anywhere else.

There were so many highlights. However our encounters with the local flora & fauna; orangutans, proboscis monkeys, macaque monkey, array of frogs, and
pitcher plants were amazing.
Tips?
The accomodation ranges from rustic to above average so be prepared. The rustic accommmodation could have been better maintained (a government /
national park issue rather than a Paradesa issue) to improve the overall experience. However it was in a lovely natural environment.... (more)Sandra Deans

Memorable parts?
Seeing the orang-utans, especially in wild when taking the morning river cruise. Second best was the foodie tour of Kual Lumpur.
Tips?
Relax on the trip. Every thing promised is delivered, but some times you have to just accept there will be delays.
Local benefits?
Yes. Local guides, hotels, restaurants and traders all gained from my spend. This supported conservationism by entrance fees, and donations to Orangutans.

We had some excellent wildlife sightings particularly of orangutans and pygmy elephants. We consider we were very lucky in what we saw. Being in Danum

Fantastic! It was incredible to have everything pre-arranged and all the logistics sorted out for us, so relaxing and just what we needed after a hectic wedding! Most memorable was staying with the Iban tribe and seeing the orangutans in Sarawak, and Borobudur at sunset in Java. (more)Portia Lloyd
Really brilliant - it was our honeymoon and we really had a fabulous time. It was so well organised by the operator which took a lot of the stress out of traveling which was exactly what we needed with such a complicated itinerary. The hotels we stayed in were second to none - really fabulous and we were spoilt rotten!
