Accommodation is basic but adequate considering … Continued

Borneo Tailor-made Tours: thank you all for a fantastic holiday

We had no expectations on what animals we would see and how every aspect of the holiday would gel together but it was excellent… We talked to lots of people on our trip and most went to great lengths to book their holiday, trawling the internet for flights, looking at different companies for their tours … Continued
