What people love about Malaysia Tours for Seniors
I had an awesome adventure, learnt a lot, was ‘very lucky’ to see alot of wildlife - including the proboscis monkey, crocodiles, orangutans, plenty of bird life, and also experienced the hatching of some green sea turtles. There is ‘No Guarantee’ on what animals you will see but on our tour we were ‘very lucky’ to have Albert who came through with the goods. Thank you Albert for making my first trip to Borneo East Sabah tour an unforgettable one. Thanks mate!!!!!!
