Tabin Wildlife Reserve is a place to visit for everyone, the guides were really inspiration in their love of nature, the place where you can really get close to the animals... seeing the monkeys cross the river above my lodge or spotting an otter from my balcony is hardly an experience you can get anywhere else.

We used the high speed train for long journeys which gave us a comfortable rest though others may wish to fly Local benefits? Local guides in each region give a window on the every day lives of residents. Our guide in Ping’an gave us an insight of how our trip supported the local community by helping families stay... (more)David Pinder

Memorable parts? I can't name only one!! If I really had to choose, I'd say the Borneo rainforest lodge in Danam Valley. Stunning location, amazingly helpful and knowledgeable staff and beautifully maintained lodges. Could not fault it. Tips? Even in the dry season, leech socks are necessary for Tabin and Danum Valley. Buy buy them there, not online. MUCH cheaper! This is a BUSY schedule involving very early mornings most days, as that's when you're most likely to see wildlife.... (more)Liz Carr

Seeing all the wildlife was great especially for the kids -- monkeys & wild boar at Bako National Park, Semenggoh Orangutans' Center, & seeing the Irawaddy Dolphins on the Santubong Wildlife Cruise. And the rainforest kayaking was definitely fun for the whole family. For my 14 yr old daughter, she would say that having her half drunk can of Lychee drink stolen by a Macaque monkey at Bako was the highlight. (more)Alison Symons

There were many memorable moments - the scale and grandeur of the various palaces and forts with the Taj Mahal, Fatehpur Sikri, and Jaipur standing out... The marble carvings at the Jainist temple at Rankapore were quite extraordinary. We really enjoyed Bhindar, not just staying in the Palace, but the waking around the town without a tourist shop in sight! (more)Tim Johnston

Finding ourselves in India at Holi - and being involved! We were prepared, by our guide, for what would happen - the showering of colours onto friends and strangers alike - and so dressed accordingly, and joined in! As a result, we had great fun! (more)David Lynn
