Borneo trip

We organised a trip to Borneo for a friend recently — here's what she thought of it, along with some of the photos she sent back.

"I promised I would let you know how our trip went. I would like to thank you for organising it, it was fantastic. Everything ran like clockwork, the people were lovely, hotels good, food great — too much sometimes! I couldn't find a fault with it. It was one of the most exciting holidays I've had for a long time. We did a lot of walking and saw an amazing amount of different things.

Had plenty of time to see the orang-utans, as they arranged our spare day at Sepilok so I was able to go three times to watch the feeding. We saw an amazing number of orchids and birds, proboscis monkeys, and were lucky enough to see a male pygmy elephant bathing in the river — everyone told us how lucky we were to see that. There wasn't an aspect of the holiday I didn't enjoy. We also had our own private guide and driver, Jason and Ibin, such lovely people who looked after us for the first five and a half days. The next guide was equally as good — they certainly pick them well.

Would highly recommend anyone, young or young at heart as we are, to visit Sabah — you can't help but fall in love with the place. Will forward some photos when I've gone through the two and a half thousand that I took!"

Regards, Doreen.
