Simon has just returned from an epic expedition to Borneo including quality time spent in Danum Valley. This is arguably the most pristine tract of lowland rainforest in South-East Asia and amongst the oldest tropical forests on Earth. Here rainforest mammals such as Orangutan, Bornean Pygmy Elephant and the elusive Clouded Leopard roam alongside a host of pittas, broadbills and other avian jewels.
WHY WE LOVE DANUM VALLEY
A prime location to see Orangutan in the wild.
Excellent rainforest lodgings.
Impressive canopy walkways.
Some of the world’s tallest tropical trees, a magestic site to behold.
Avian jewels such as the Great Argus, pittas, trogons, broadbills and a myriad of hornbills to name a few.
If you would like to explore Borneo with us please don’t hesitate to contact us – we would love to assist in setting up the wildlife journey of your dreams.
