Hi all,
I've been to Borneo before - Sabah - and birded at Kinabalu, Sepilok etc etc. Now I'd like to go again, with my family, and am trying to decide whether to go to Sarawak or Kalimantan next July/August. We will be taking our small children (under 10) so it will not be a total hard-core birding trip, but they do really enjoy rainforests and wildlife, so there will be a lot of opportunities for good birding.
Can't find much about birding Kalimantan in the usual places on the net. Lots of stuff on deforestation etc but no decent trip reports or anything.
What do people think? Sarawak or Kalimantan for a 4 week trip next year? I'm cross-posting this in the Malaysia thread to see what happens there too...
Cheers,
Sean
