BORNEO

Here are some pictures of our first trip to Sabah, the northernmost, Malaysian province of Borneo, in September 2000.

In addition to 'conquering' Mount Kinabalu, the highest peak in south-east Asia, watching the prolific wildlife on the river Kinabatangan and seeing a leatherback laying her eggs on Selingan Island, the highlights included a night and day as guests of the Christian tribespeople of Bakuku, a village of former head-hunters so remote it doesn't appear on most maps. Their welcome was quite overwhelming.

Our guide (in the lead, left) was a delightful local pastor who had formerly been a national boxing champion.

'A superb holiday,'�wrote one traveller; 'a truly amazing experience,' wrote another. 'It is hard to convey the impact of all we saw and did,'�said a third.

To date we have organised two successful tours of Sabah, and we will do a third if there is sufficient demand. Let us know if you would like more details.
