The Department of Wildlife and National Parks established Kuala

base for the Elephant Relocation Team, which began the elephant
translocation programme in 1974.

Orang utans make nests in the trees out of twigs, leaves
and small branches in which they sleep in at night. Usually they
make a new nest every afternoon, sometimes resting during the
day. Orangutans are solitary animal and their main diet consists
of fruits, leaves, barks, shoots and birds' egg.
Just a short email to say how
much we enjoyed our trip to the Danum Valley,
Kinabatangan and Sepilok which you arranged for us. We
had a wonderful time with great experiences both on land
and on the river, were extremely well looked after and
had many superb wildlife sightings, including two orang
utan Mothers in the wild with their young; one of them
was making up her nest for the night and that was an
extraordinary experience. All arrangements worked like
clockwork, and I'd like to thank you for the efficiency
and positive, helpful and friendly attitude with which
we were met throughout our stay. Borneo is a beautiful
country and I am sure I will be back one day and I will
certainly recommend it, and your organisation, to
friends who enjoy wild life holidays.
The Kinabalu Giant Earthworm
is one of the awe-inspiring creatures. A full 70 cm long when
stretched-out, the animal is not your average garden worm. It is
grey-bluish and lives in burrows in the soft and thick soils that build
lush forest around Paka Cave shelter, at some 3,000 m above sea level.
The
leeches in the rainforest are particularly "vicious" and really
blood-thirsty. As you make your way in the wet rainforest trail, you
will realise and learn how just how blood-thirsty they are. There are
leeches just about everywhere, somersaulting and quivering in
all direction.

The Kinabatangan River is one of Borneo’s longest and most
majestic rivers, originating in south west of Sabah, it
flows for 560 kilometers (347 miles) through eastern Sabah
to the Sulu Sea on the east coast. The banks of the
Kinabatangan River are predominantly covered with river vine
forest.

Some
Comment - My wife and I went on the Elephant
tour in Dec. 2006.
What a fantastic day it was. Picked up at the hotel spot on time, our
guide and driver were lovely people. There was a Husband, Wife and two young
daughters in the minivan with us. The guides could not do enough for us from
arranging Toilet stops, organising the inclusive lunch and taking photo's
with our camera's as well as there own camera.
The CD with the pictures on was
waiting for us when we got back home from visiting our son in Australia 3
wks later. This was a fantastic start to our holiday, we were only in KL for
2 nights but rest assured we will be returning both to KL and the Elephant
Sanctuary.
I highly reccommend this tour to all ages.
Sorry for taking so long to write to you.
We are back at work in Papua New Guinea now and things are crazy
here - as usual.
Our time in Danum Valley was great. The food and the service at
Borneo Rainforest Lodge were particularly outstanding. It
rained heavily every afternoon we were there, so we didn't get
to do as much bird-watching as we would have liked. But we made
the best of every morning and saw some really great birds. We
really enjoyed ourselves.
Overall, our trip to Sabah was fantastic. I think it was the
best holiday that I have ever had. We really didn't have any
complaints about anything, the whole time we were traveling.
Many thanks again to you for making our planning and our holiday
work out so well. We will certainly recommend you to anybody we
know who is planning a holiday in Malaysia. And we are thinking
that we might go back there again within the next couple of
years, so we might be in touch again. If we are ever in KL for
any reason, we will certainly look for you.
Thanks again and Best Wishes
From Dr Robert Mckay (20 days tour for Kinabatangan river,
Maliau Basin, Danum Valley and Tabin Wildlife reserve)
