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.
