Gorillas & Game Parks, September 2017
Andre Esser
Great trip, close to perfection. Only slight disappointment is the vehicle, windows are difficult to open and close, only have two settings (fully open or fully shut) and there is a metal bar at eye hight. Big plus for the power sockets at every seat though.

Sabah Adventure, September 2017
Emily Parsons
This trip was absolutely fantastic. Our tour leader Edwin was absolutely brilliant and made our trip truly special. We had the amazing experience of seeing orangutans in the wild along with lots of other wildlife. The climb up Mount Kinabalu was the hardest yet most amazing experience my husband and I have ever done and we do not regret doing it one bit. The group was great and had a wide age range which was really lovely, we made lots of friends which we still keep in contact with. The accommodation can be basic at times but we were so busy doing activities we didn't really need a fancy room. We have recommended this trip to all of our friends as all aspects of it was amazing!
