Description of Indonesia tour, Kalimantan, Komodo & Bali
This 11-night tour takes you from the jungles of Indonesian Borneo to the lizard lined beaches of Komodo. You will be escorted throughout by an English speaking driver-guide.
On arrival in Kalimantan you will head into Tanjung Puting National Park - a large lowland reserve home to some 600 bird species and 9 species of primates, 3 of which are endemic to Borneo. Within the park its ink black water surface reflects the nipah palms on its shores. Exploration by boat along its waterways is the best way to see the giant forest dwellers. A highlight of your visit is the Orangutans at Camp Leakey and you will have plenty of opportunity to learn more about these fascinating creatures and watch them being fed by the local rangers.
From Borneo, you will head to Bali to explore its mystical temples and coastline and enjoy a couple of days relaxing amid beautiful surroundings. Finally you will head across to Komodo, where you will have a chance to go in search of these awe-inspiring lizards and explore the incredible marine life, coral gardens, reefs and tropical islands of the area.
