wonderful trip with very experienced guides, we learned a lot about the jungle and we had a really great and funny time.
Katrin
We had a great time at Deramakot thanks to the fantastic LOST Borneo team. Not a typical tourist event, but an insightful and enjoyable experience. Small group size and a deep dive into the jungle wildlife.
Hendrik
An excellent experience with LOST BORNEO company. My guide Mr Connelly was a man with 10 years of experience with Deramakot and he very clearly knew the place inside and out. He was able to spot so many different species of wildlife so easily and helped me find so many of my target species. Although we didn't manage to spot and photograph any wild cats, I still had an excellent trip thanks to him.
