Guides were absolutely excellent. Rooms clean and comfortable. Transport logistics perfect. Food decent. Wonderful experience on water and on the jungle trails.

From the moment of the on time pickup from my hotel in Sandakan to the on time drop off for my flight to KL, this package was professional, informative and most of all thoroughly enjoyable. The accommodation was brand new, the food tasty and plentiful, the cruises, safe, well organized and surprising in the variety of wildlife spotted. All in all it was a great package, well priced, particularly for a single traveller, and a memory to treasure.

We had a good time on this trip. The tour was very well organised; we were briefed about the schedule on arrival and all the activities ran to schedule. The boat tours were very good and we spotted a lot of animals including proboscis monkeys, macaques, crocodiles, kingfishers, hornbills, an otter, and also a mama and baby orangutan. We also spotted nocturnal animals on the night trip such as owls, snakes, and a civet cat. Of course this all depends on luck, but the guide was very good at spotting wildlife and our guide was also very knowledgeable. The accommodation was comfortable and there was plenty of food. This lodge is also the only fully locally owned and run lodge along the river, so we were very happy to support this.

How can I experience the local culture while on a wildlife safari in Malaysia?
Immerse yourself in local traditions by visiting indigenous villages like Kampung Gajah in Taman Negara. Engage with the Orang Asli community, learn about their customs, and capture authentic cultural moments through photography.
What photography tips can you share for capturing stunning wildlife shots in Malaysia?
Take advantage of the early morning and late evening golden hours for optimal lighting. Use a telephoto lens for close-up shots and a wide-angle lens to capture the vast landscapes. Remember to shoot in RAW format and be patient to observe animal behavior for the perfect shot.
What are some hidden gems for wildlife photography in Malaysia?
Venture beyond popular destinations to discover hidden photography spots.
