As a centre for conservation and ecological research, Danum Valley is one of the best places for bird-watching in Borneo, if not the whole of Malaysia. 

It is one of the largest, most untouched regions of lowland rainforest accessible to visitors. 

Try to spot a Whiskered Treeswift, one of the most unusual swifts as it sports moustache like white markings on its face and feeds by hunting from a little perch. Threatened species like the Driard's Trogon – a beautiful red/amber bird – can also be seen on a lucky day. With expert guides available, you can learn about various bird types and seek out particular species that interest you the most. 

You can include this experience as part of an Experience Travel Group holiday designed exclusively with you.
