Difficult-there were many. Seeing a wild Orangutan, just outside the cave at Gomantong, close up and "posing" for us, or rounding a bend on the Kinabatangan river to see 30-40 pigmy elephants of all ages on the bank. A set of experiences rather than just a vacation. (more)Elizabeth Barratt
Every spotting of the orangutans, gibbons, birds, lizards, or even pigs was delightful. My husband and I adopted an orphaned Orangutan At the Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary. All along the way of our safari, the guides told us how we would recognize the child Orangutan. I spotted her immediately when she came out for the 4 pm feeding.

Memorable parts?
The surprisingly fast ride following the river rafting, up to 70kph, the scenery, the two islands that we spent 2 nights at each were lovely and to try something new - the zip wires at La Fortuna (not mentioned in trip notes, but leader will book for you)
Tips?

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!
(more)Erin Bunting
Seeing the orang-utans at Tanjung Puting National Park was the highlight, followed closely by the couple of days spent on board the boat to Komodo Island. The orang-utans were a joy to watch and we felt privileged to see these animals in their natural habitat. (more)Kathryn White

Our stay at Abai Jungle Lodge was definitely the most memorable and exciting part of our trip.

The adult male Orangutan we saw on our boat trip from Abai jungle lodge to Kinabatagan jungle lodge and the pygmy elephants we saw at the riverside on our first boat cruise and much more besides!! (more)Anthony Mills
So many memorable moments - Sepilok and the Kinabatangan river trips to view the wildlife were totally unforgettable. Watching from the boat as an orangutan built its nest for the night, and the family squabbles of the proboscis monkeys. (more)Marian Little

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

Lodge.

From

Memorable parts?
Defiantly my most memorable part was the interaction with the local people, especially the kid’s classes. The animals were great, however it’s the people that made it special.
Tips?
If you enjoy a beer after a hard day's work, make sure you organize in advance! You can get beer but it’s in town and about a 15min drive, so suggest being organized.
Local benefits?
I defiantly feel that we made great progress with the local people. We are still in regular contact... (more)Lauchlan Leishman

Best bit: Seeing orangutans in the wild and at Sepilok (more)Alison Shindler
In Borneo we met and travelled with like minded families and individuals, who along with good humoured guides added enormously to the pleasure of the trip. It was excellent and would thoroughly recommend for those who are adventurous, like variety and don't mind a bit of roughing. (more)Michael Mosley
