Borneo Holidays

Fantastic and a truly memorable experience. It was so well organised & I received so much information before traveling.There was nothing that I could fault. It is the most well organised holiday that I have ever been on. Would definitely travel with Natural World Safaris again and would highly recommend your company.

It was excellent. After all the warnings about not seeing orangutans in the wild, our first sighting was before we made it to the first camp!

Amazing. Everything ran smoothly. Collected at airports by the guides all travel ran smoothly with the least amount of hassle possible. I can not fault it. Guides were perfect. Accommodation was perfect. Food was perfect. We had the best time and can't wait to do another one. I would use your company again and again.

The pre-trip service was excellent from start to finish. Many thanks for your attention to detail and for organising the holiday of a lifetime for our family.

The trip exceeded expectations. We saw nine of the ten primate species, all of the hornbills, and some extraordinary invertebrates: indeed I would count it as the most rewarding rainforest experience I’ve ever had. Wonderful!

I had an excellent time! I was a little concerned about what a tailor-made trip would look like in terms of transitioning from one place and guide to another, but everything went very smoothly. The companies and people with whom NWS work in Borneo are top notch. I was so impressed by everyone's professionalism. I can't wait to book another trip with NWS.

Rasa Ria was a luxurious and simply beautiful hotel. The Danum Vally Lodge was an oasis of calm in a rainforest haven. Our guide was absolutely wonderful and helped my elderly mother throughout the trip. She was knowledgeable and made every effort to ensure our comfort and enjoyment during our visit to Borneo.

Arrived back Friday morning. What a fantastic holiday. Thank you so much for putting the itinerary together for us. It was perfect. The guide "Beverley" in Borneo was fabulous, my daughter felt like she had two mums. The co ordination of the transfers and connections to the 4 wheel vehicles was amazing, we really didn't want for anything. Beverley and the guides in Danum Valley were very knowledgeable and tailored the walks to interest my daughter. I really couldn't have asked for more. I would not hesitate in using your company again. I'm thinking Madagascar or Costa Rica next year.

We have just had the most amazing family holiday in Borneo. We visited the region of Sabah and looked for orangutans in the rainforest. We were lucky to see several of the old man of the forest and Gibbons. The birds were truly stunning as we walked through the tree top canopy. The birds on the river were equally beautiful, with a wide range of Hornbills .We moved north near the coast and witnessed the strange and amusing Proboscis Monkeys, only found on this island. Although we did swim in the South China Sea, next time we will take in some diving and hopefully see the sea turtles in their natural habitat.

The recommendations for time of year to visit, destinations and choices of accommodation were all excellent. With the benefit of hindsight, I can see I was well advised. My guide at Borneo Rainforest Lodge in Danum Valley was outstanding for his enthusiasm for local wildlife and conservation, great communication, his tireless efforts and his unflagging sense of humour. All aspects of Borneo Rainforest Lodge deserve a rating of excellent Thanks for doing a great job. It's hard to say how things might have been improved. All the transfers and connections were seamless, and the whole trip was much as I'd been dreaming of - only even better The wildlife experiences exceeded our expectations.

We were thrilled with every detail of our Borneo adventure--hotels, food, flights and ground transportation. Our guide, Ben, was excellent as were Mesius and Farah at the Borneo Rainforest Lodge! We had a wonderful time. We saw everything we had hoped to see and more-- the exception was Pygmy Elephants...but Ben tried so hard to find them for us that we are confident that had he been able to make one materialize...he would have made that happen. Our only regret is the lack of blue skies for our photographic memories...but if there is one thing that we are confident that mankind can't change...it's the weather. We had rain but it neither stopped us from our daily adventures nor did it "dampen" our trip. We won't hesitate to book our next adventure with Natural World Safaris.

We had a fantastic time and the wildlife experiences certainly did exceed our expectations. I was particularly pleased that while at Abai we came across a large herd of pygmy elephants that then proceeded to swim across the river in front of our boat. We loved Borneo Rainforest Lodge and being able to walk in the rainforest. We loved Lankayan and were lucky enough to see a turtle laying eggs both nights and witness the release of some hatchlings.
