The most memorable part was Abai Jungle lodge - so remote and romantic, plus tons of wildlife. It felt like the first time you visited a zoo.
(more)Leah Brinton
From
£2,765
excluding flights
The most memorable was the people, land and wildlife! Our holiday was a truly beautiful journey and I would highly recommend it. We spent two nights at Tabin and I think it would be better to do three nights and spread out all the activities a bit more. Gaya Island Resort was a piece of heaven. (more)Terri Envey
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 holiday. (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.

We stayed on the river until sundown and saw the most spectacular sunset (that was a real 'pinch me, is this real?!' moment), and then celebrated the day with a bottle of Merlot back at the lodge. An unforgettable day.
(more)Niamh Sherry
The holiday far surpassed my expectations- and this was made so special by Sheila (our leader)’s passion and commitment to her “work”. (more)Eleri Roberts
Probably seeing orang-utans in the wild and up very close at Sepilok rehabilitation centre but the whole trip was both memorable and exciting! (more)Linda Beviss

Fantastic, once in a lifetime which I would love to do all over again. (more)Jon Daulton
Very hard to say (what was the most memorable moment) but watching the proboscis monkeys on the Kinabatangan river surrounded by the sounds of birds. Secondly at Puau Tiga a tropical island - the beautiful surroundings stunning beach and trees, an absolute get away from it all.
(more)Valerie Crompton
From
£1,134

The jungle walk at night and the Perhentian islands was memorable. It was great. I really enjoyed it. We had an amazing guide and we were only a group of 3. Don't know how much different it would be with a bigger group. (more)Bettina Buomberger
Most memorable? Definitely climbing Mount Kinabalu. But very closely followed by the wildlife from orangutans, wild elephants to the sea turtles... Excellent... You should definitely book on this trip! (more)Kirsty Howland

Memorable parts?

Overall rating?
Really enjoyable.... (more)John Roy Dewell
