    Best time to visit Borneo ? Any sites to add ?

    Thanks. How would I best fit these into the itinerary I currently have ? Is there much at Deramakot that I wouldn't see at sepilok, Tabin or Danum, bird or mammal wise ? Tony

    Best time to visit Borneo ? Any sites to add ?

    Thanks James. I'm not chasing the endemics as such, just trying to to get as wide a selection of birds as possible while there. My wife isn't a birder but tolerates a certain amount of pure birding but she's after the mammals primarily I take a lot of wildlife and bird photos (see Flickr...

    Best time to visit Borneo ? Any sites to add ?

    We have decided to add 2 nights at Tabin but aren't sure whether to have 2 full days at Kinabalu or 2 full days at Sepilok. We have to drop one day from one of the 2 !

    Best time to visit Borneo ? Any sites to add ?

    Thanks. If it was just me I would do this but Mrs K will also have a say so I'm sure it will be the BRL we will stay at. While my wife is interested in the birds it's mainly mammals and bugs for her so will be a bit of a compromise. Throughout I'll be making sure the hotels know to provide...

    Best time to visit Borneo ? Any sites to add ?

    Selingen island is apparently a no go at the moment. Is it worth adding a night or two at Tabin or are the birds there similar to other locations I'm already visiting ? I'm sure I read that bird photography is better here as there is less canopy and more natural light ?

    Best time to visit Borneo ? Any sites to add ?

    Thanks Guys that's really useful. I will add an extra day at Kinabalu Sepilok/rainforest discovery centre and Danum. The tour will be booked through Reef & Rainforest so while I'm sure they will pick decent accommodation and guides etc are there any particular trails or places to go to at each...

    Best time to visit Borneo ? Any sites to add ?

    Thanks. Yes have looked at the reports but they tend to line up with holiday slots. Just wondered if there were particular months where birds were more active/visible eg in the UK April May and Sept are bad months but June/July not so good. Glad to heat the itinerary looks about right with no...

    Best time to visit Borneo ? Any sites to add ?

    We are looking at a tour of Borneo that covers the following sites. It would be focused on wildlife and scenery but with an emphasis on birds. Which are the best months to visit (it seems Nov-Feb should be avoided?) and are there any obvious reserves or stops that we should factor in ...
