We had an amazing time in Borneo, we were lucky enough to see the Clouded Leopards, two families of Elephants on five occasions and had wonderful close encounters with Orangutan, Proboscis Monkeys, Silver-leaf Langurs and Crab-eating Macaques! Also a quite close enough encounter with a Salt-water Crocodile and a Pit Viper! Our guide Henry was absolutely brilliant in every way, and our drivers Mex and Albert, and the boatman Basri were also fantastic. They were all extremely courteous, professional and highly skilled. The food was wonderful and plentiful, and the lodges were great. Deramakot accommodation was basic but fine… we had the most fabulous time and brought home many memories and even more photos!

A truly amazing holiday with many, many highlights. A common thread was how the fieldcraft of the ship's captain, zodiac pilots or expedition leaders positioned us to enjoy intimate and extensive views of so many different animals without disturbing them. Watching, for example, the Polar Bear sliding down a slope on its back and then returning to do the same again in case we'd missed it the first time. The magnificent Bowhead Whale, not just an occasional or distant view of the double blow, but repeated views over a period of nearly two hours and including two great tail flukes when diving. The Belugas, not just white blobs, but fully visible in a feeding frenzy with Kittiwakes and Glaucous Gulls. They came so close we could watch them swimming underwater. And the list goes on: King Eider, Grey Phalarope, Arctic Fox, Walrus all enjoyed many times with some superb views. The glorious weather and incredible Arctic scenery just added to the experience. We felt privileged to be part of this wonderful adventure.

Bulgaria is a wonderful country to visit and was helped so much by our local guide Minko. His enthusiasm for wildlife and his country added to the whole experience. The birdlife exceeded expectations and the unspoilt countryside was wonderful. To hear the Orioles and Cuckoos, as well as many other birds, in a valley where one called and the other seemed to respond was excellent. We've only ever used Naturetrek for our birding holidays and every time they've organised our trip to fit around our requirements. Travel from an airport more local to us, arranging additional nights where required or requested and always in central locations or to make it as easy as possible for an onward journey.
