We are interested in something like your Borneo wildlife highlights tour, with an add on at the end to Lawas / Long Merarap the memorial for SAS soldiers from 1963 helicopter crash. Are you able to accommodate this?

I just had a look at this for you. I was not familiar with the memorial but I think it's brilliant you wish to visit it. I could not see we visit it on any of our Borneo itineraries apologies, we have some Sarawak options as well. Looks like the closest we get to the site is Mulu National Park. My thought is perhaps there is tour with another company you could connect up with ours or a travel agent may be able to assist you with a tailormade itinerary.

I am very interested in seeing a corpse flower. I did not see anything about that in this trip, is that not offered?

We visit Rafflesia farm on day 4 of the trip.
