Wildlife, Safaris and Photography Vacations
Untamed Borneo Adventure
Venture into the last vestiges of truly untamed tropical rainforest wilderness of Borneo with some of the richest biodiversity on Earth, and then relax, snorkel and dive in the crystalline waters of the Celebes Sea, one of the world’s more pristine tropical marine habitats. Based from well-appointed ecolodges and accompanied by expert naturalist guides we fly, travel by 4WD and venture by boat up coastal rivers teeming with endemic wildlife of the Malaysian state of Sabah. We visit the Sepilok Orangutan Center and spend several days walking through 160 million year old primary forests of the Kinabatangan River Sanctuary and the Danum Valley Conservation Area. By day and by night we hike and explore forests brimming with ficus, ferns, flowers and fungi while spotting rare and endangered wildlife including orangutan, silver leaf monkeys, wild elephant, flying frogs, giant squirrels, tarsiers, resident hornbills and a host of other exotic forest creatures. Out of the jungle we make our way to relax and rejuvenate at a small island ecolodge off the Western Malaysia coast. Throughout our journey we’ll enjoy the incredible cuisine that the cultural mélange of Malaysia has to offer.

Tigers and Travels in India
Recognized by National Geographic Traveler magazine as a "Tour of a Lifetime," search for illusive tigers in the famed Bandhavgarh and Kanha National Parks where we meet with tiger conservationists, walk among rural villages of Rajasthan, and dine in a family home with descendants of a royal family who share insights of their daily life. During our tiger safaris we learn about Project Tiger to bring tigers back from the brink of extinction in Bandhavgarh and Kanha National Parks. Visit the old city of New Delhi, the Moghul masterpiece of the Taj Mahal in Agra, Khajuraho's spectacular temples, and the sacred city of Varanasi on the Ganges. The castles and palaces of unequaled grandeur, echoes of the British Raj, and the corresponding historic boutique-style accommodations combine to produce an unforgettable India travel experience.
