Trip was amazing. It really was exactly what I was looking for with limited time.
I found trying to book a trip online to Borneo Rainforest Lodge really difficult until I found Nick at KimKim. I am positive it was not the cheapest way to go about it but it was worth it for me to not have to be constantly chasing quotes etc and I felt like Nick had the right connections to make it a smooth trip.
Everything ran like clockwork and we had no problems at all with connections or our package etc.
We saw orangutang at both Danum Valley conservation area and Sukau Rainforest Lodge!! And SOOOOO much more. Both experiences were entirely different but wonderful in their own right. Experiences were rich. Guides were great. Food was fab. I cant recommend going to Borneo enough. And if you want a seamless booking experience definitely use Nick.
Take a proper, good pair of binoculars if you want a full experience.
I would have loved more information on what to take before we left as I found myself scrambling to find information in online reviews/forums to know what to take just before we left - which I don't love doing and it should be reasonably simple for these guys to put together but apart from that I cant fault this experience of a lifetime. It would also have been good to get a heads up that it was Hari Raya (Malaysian/Indonesian version of Eid) when we landed as so much was closed when we arrived in Lahad Datu it could have been problematic if we hadn't fluked our accomodation being near one of the only open restaurants. Small detail but worth knowing in advance.
