Review Body: Our tour guide, Desmond, brought us around the village and we learned about the Bidayuh culture. Even when we overnight at the long house, it felt so relaxing. Desmond is very knowledgeable and knows a lot of cool places. The lunch and dinner place was very delicious.

Ontdek Sarawaks laatste longhouse, orang-oetans & de Kiri-rivier

Je gids kent deze plek en de mensen hier door en door – hij is hier opgegroeid! Reken op bijzondere verhalen, verborgen paden en een authentieke ervaring die je nergens anders vindt.Je bezoekt ook een ethisch orang-oetanreservaat met geredde orang-oetans.

Hij groeide op met handel drijven met lokale stammen langs de Kiri-rivier en leerde zo hun talen en manier van leven kennen. Die band gaat diep – hij heeft zelfs traditionele Iban- en Bidayuh-tatoeages! Ga met hem mee op een tocht over de kronkelende rivier naar Kuchings laatste nog bewoonde longhouse, waar families nog leven zoals al generaties lang. Desmond laat je de geheimen van deze plek zien en deelt verhalen over een Borneo dat de meeste bezoekers nooit meemaken.

Maak kennis met je host

Desmond is een jongen van hier. Hij groeide op in een kleine winkelwoningpost midden in de jungle, aan de oever van de rivier waarlangs goederen van inheemse stammen binnenkwamen, die zijn familie ruilde voor allerlei producten uit hun winkel. In zijn jeugd leerde hij de lokale talen. Zijn kennis van en verbondenheid met de lokale bevolking gaan zo diep als de inkt onder zijn huid — op elke arm staat een traditionele tatoeage: één van de Iban-stam en één van de Bidayuh-stam. Desmond brengt niet alleen de tradities van de lokale stammen tot leven, maar ook de lange geschiedenis van verschillende gemeenschappen — de inheemse stammen en de Chinezen die naast elkaar leven.
