A few impressions…







“Jules, your planning and organisation was excellent again!
On the trip up the Kinabantagan River we saw what I have always wanted to see, Proboscis monkeys as well as Orang Utans in the wild. We also spent a happy couple of hours having lunch at a local village and planting trees.
The guides were very knowledgeable and the Malayan people absolutely delightful. The best bit of the couple of days at the beach was the Bornean Culinary Experience.”
