Absolutely amazing! The staff went above and beyond for us. The room was perfect. Super clean and comfy beds.
The food was great with lots of options and there was always more than enough for everyone.
The lodge and the grounds are beautiful. The tour guides really were amazing and I’m so grateful for their enthusiasm, knowledge and just general good vibes.
We were so lucky to see the big 5 during the course of our trip. But this really was down to our guides being so knowledgeable and understanding the animals movements that day so we could find them. It was as though we were sitting in a live wildlife documentary.(whilst being out of the way to not disturb them)
I highly recommend this experience, do not hesitate to book!
Tip: Wear long sleeves and trousers for the jungle treks. And bring some layers for the boat ride. It can get a little chilly early morning/nightime.
Effie
Unforgettable experience! It was well organized and the cruises were awesome.
We saw elephants, monkeys, crocodiles, snakes… It was perfect.
Wies
The guides were excellent, full of local wildlife knowledge and clear on our itinerary. We knew exactly where to be and when, well before time. We didn’t see an orangutan, but that was not for want of our guides trying. Rooms, simple but adequate, with AC. There was a selection of food which was great, afternoon tea was fab, tea and coffee was available at all times. Excellent experience! Brilliant Borneo!
Daniel
It was sooo nice, the tour guides were amazing, gave us a lot of information about the wildlife in the national parks. Also the activities were a lot of fun, would definetly recommmend!
Marie
I can highly recommend this trip! Intensive 3 days, full of activities and adventures. An opportunity to see the wildlife of Borneo and spend some time with wonderful hosts and guides.
Adela
This was a great experience. We received a lot of useful information ahead of arriving. The transport was also very smoothly organised with hotel pick up and drop off. The food was delicious, it was a buffer style with lots of options for mains, vegetables, and fresh fruit (and amazing banana bread! ). The room was very clean, spacious, and conformable.
The highlight of the stay was of course our search for wildlife. All the staff are very knowledgeable, passionate, and respectful of the wildlife. We were able to see four of the big 5 (with the exception of the elusive orangutan). The night cruise was also such a unique way to explore the river.
Krissie
Had an amazing time at the Danum Valley Field centre. Mostly because we had an amazing guide in Jeffrey. He was amazing at finding the animals. Very knowledgeable about the fauna and the animals and their behavior.
Kasper
I loved the report, the room, the boat trips, our guide, the restaurant staff and all the other staff that made this a great experience. I’ve travelled to 60 countries and numerous “safari” type adventures and found this to be good and unique.
