It really was just incredible. Just being out there was amazing but seeing orangutans completely on my own like that was something I will never forget. Thanks so much for watching!
@Farawaynow it is just different with Tanzania, kenya, south africa safari because animals can easily be seen in the grass land. We have the oldest tropical rainforest in the world, the animals play hide and seek with humans
@@keangwooichoo6138 Yes, I have been to all of those places and seeing the main safari animals that are in huge numbers is quite easy. The forest animals are a different story. You have to hike though the forest to see the apes. When I saw the mountain gorillas our group was split in two and we hiked for hours and my group saw them but the others did not. I am hopeful as we plan to search for chimps in the Mahale Mountains National Park on Lake Tanganyika. Fingers crossed!
My suggestion : to see pgymy elephants, go to kinabatangan at the dry season (our summer). When it is wet season like monsoon, elephants seldom appear at the river banks.
Malaysia does not hv chimp (another ape) but we hv gibbons. Malaysia is listed by united nation as one of 17 countries around the world with mega diversity. Only 3 countries in south east asia shared this privilege. They are philippines, indonesia, malaysia
A couple of questions. What time of the year did you go? Did you have to take many precautions? I mean injections? Malaria tablets? Many mosquitoes? Was this the best lodge or are there others of similar standard? What made you decide on this one?
We went in September. The lodge was great, there were a couple of similar. This one was a little more pricey but we picked it as it was a special occasion so we splurged. There are also many cheaper options. We took bug spray but no malaria tablets.
Be sure to check out our previous video where we explored the city of Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia: th-cam.com/video/Zz85B5HrAM8/w-d-xo.html
That looks like an amazing experience! The videography is spectacular in this video, as well as the editing!!! Great work :)

Very lucky to see the orangutan in the wild. They are such impressive creatures.
Yes, they are and I was lucky!
@Farawaynow extremely lucky like British vlogger karl watson. The other British vlogger paddy doyle wasn't so lucky. It was raining most of his trip.
Yes, I do think we we managed to be lucky enough to time things just right. We only had one afternoon with a short period of rain

This was a magical experience. Something I had dreamed about most of my life!
Thank you! This is an excellent presentation of where to go in Borneo!
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it. We loved our time on Borneo.
