Borneo - 2013

Visiting the wildlife and rainforest of Borneo has to have been the best all-round holiday I have ever had. Seeing orang-utans and pigmy elephants in their own habitat was amazing.

We first visited the War Memorial where many prisoners of war were killed during the First World War with only six surviving out of some 2,000 people held by the Japanese. As we travelled across the country on the way to Sabah we stumbled across a sign for “Raffelsia” where we saw in full bloom the world’s largest single headed flower almost one metre in diameter.

Then it was on to the rainforest where we came across a Pit Viper (poisonous snake). Luckily I was close enough to get a picture but not to get bitten. The journey ended with a trip up the Kinabatangan River where we saw plenty of wildlife, birds, crocodiles, birds and monkeys.

This was a wonderful experience and a trip I would fully recommend to anyone who like’s an adventure. Once again I’m happy to share with you my experience and photo’s if you’re thinking of going....
