    I went to a similar trip in Borneo few years ago. Is a tear dropping trip in many parts of the trip. Observing mother turtle laying the eggs, say goodbye to baby turtle. Spot orang utan and the super cute sun bear. Unlike Africa wildlife trip, wildlife in Borneo make you connecting to the nature in a peaceful way.

    You certainly done your homework before head out into the wild. Knew where to party like locals. Good on you mate. Do come back. There are still more to be explored. Danum Valley, Maliau Basin, Imbak Canyon etc.
    Those islands off Semporna are must go!!

    It's the kind of adventure that leaves you breathless and questioning your life choices, but the view from the top is so jaw-dropping, you'll momentarily forget the burning in your calves. I visited Borneo in the past and I immediately realized that in Borneo, 'safari' doesn't mean just 'watching'; it means 'playing peekaboo with the wild ones.' And if you manage to spot all five, you're officially the David Attenborough of your group!

Superb and epic video Karl!

    Wow! I found myself so immersed in the video that I felt like I was really there on that trip. I felt so excited when you spotted the rare animals. I can also understand the pain of going down a steep mountain. My legs are like jello, and i just want to kneel down and kiss the flat ground!
    Kudos to another amazing film. I am going on an Intrepid Travel 15 Day Explore Egypt trip in November, and this helps me manage until the trip. It reminds me why I love to travel! Thank you for all your hard work to create this masterpiece.

    This video came up randomly and was well worth the view. Reminded me of my visit there coming from Saigon where me... a native New Yorker was working for a British company to attend a regional conference. We stopped firstly in KL then Brunei where at sunset the sky was absolutely crimson. Finally making it to the conference center about 8PM my wife and I decided to have dinner in our room. At about 9:30 my wife went for a shower and I turned on the news to a shock. It was the evening of September 11, 2001 there and so 9:30 AM or so in New York. What I saw made me think the doomsday clock had just struck midnight with the world trade center burning on one side of the TV screen and the Pentagon burning on the other. For a moment I was thinking that I may be living the rest of my life in Borneo. Anyway... we could see the mountain the next day but did not have time to climb it.
