Malaysia is a developed Asian nation offering first-class facilities, an extensive range of well-serviced national parks and nature reserves and a bounty of quality birds and mammals with amazing photography opportunities; simply put, this is the perfect destination for a bird photo tour!  

On this adventure, we will visit some of Asia’s most famous birding sites, including Fraser’s Hill, the grand Taman Negara National Park, the Kinabatangan River, Sepilok and the fabled Mount Kinabalu. Habitats range from lowland and montane rainforest to mangrove swamps and wetlands and these host a rich mix of typical south-east Asian birds as well as several rare species and Bornean endemics. As if this isn’t enough, it is also one of the best countries in Asia to enjoy rainforest mammals and we can expect some incredible creatures, including Orangutan, several species of Gibbon, Mouse-Deers, nocturnal flying squirrels and if we are lucky, Bornean Pygmy Elephant or Leopard Cat! Get your cameras out and join us for what is sure to be an awesome, exotic blend of fabulous birds, mammals and amazing scenery!
