See what Susie's and
Ellen's Said about the recent birding tour
"Thanks for a fantastic birding trip in
Malaysia. In three days, we saw
more than 95 species of spectacular birds! I was amazed by the skill and
knowledge of our guide, Mr. Lee Kok Chung. He not only took us to diverse
habitats and was knowledgeable about what birds we would find at each site,
but he also seemed to be able to call the birds to us!
Mr. Lee appeared
to be communicating with the birds through his miming of the bird calls. It was
really fun and interesting. Thanks for humoring our interest in Buddist and
Hindu temples by stopping off at them whenever we wished."

What Peter said;
Just want to thank you for two excellent
days' birding with Lee Kok Chung, one at Fraser's Hill and the other in the
area of Kuala Selangor. On both days we saw at least 70 species (each
day) of birds and a variety of other wildlife. Very good views were
obtained and most of the target species were quickly discovered. I
would recommend these trips to anyone interested in wildlife.

What Paul Say about us;
Sylvia
& I just wanted to say how much we enjoyed our 8-day birding trip with Lee
in October. Thanks to his excellent skills we were able to see over
220 species. He also took us to some excellent chinese eating places
during our stay. The remainder of our holiday in
New Zealand was also brilliant and we managed to see most of the
endemic birds there although, because of its remoteness, there are far fewer
species than in
Malaysia. Wishing you a happy and prosperous 2008.

What Mary Said;
We enjoyed the trip thoroughly and
am impressed by the variety of birds we saw. I am certainly passing
along the word about your company.

What
Wayne and Margaret
Twydle,
Now that
we have arrived home, we just wanted to say thank you very much to
Endemic Guides for the organisation of our 9 day 8
night bird tour. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, seeing more
bird species than we had ever hoped for. This of course was due to
the expert skills of our guide, Lee, who seemed to almost have the
ability to call up birds whenever we needed them! His imitations of
their calls was remarkable, and his equally impressive patience
often delivered good views of uncommon species.
He
also took good care of us: he always checked our accommodation, and
advised us on food. We are still recovering from his sense of humour!!
We are very happy to recommend
Endemic Guides to anyone in
New Zealand who may
be considering travelling to
Malaysia

What Dr Mckay Say,
Sorry for taking so long to write to you. We are back at work in Papua
New Guinea now and things are crazy here - as usual.
Our time in Danum Valley was great. The food and the service at Borneo
Rainforest Lodge were particularly outstanding. It rained heavily every
afternoon we were there, so we didn't get to do as much bird-watching as
we would have liked. But we made the best of every morning and saw some
really great birds. We really enjoyed ourselves.
Overall, our trip to Sabah was fantastic. I think it was the best
holiday that I have
ever had. We really didn't have any complaints about anything, the
whole time we were traveling.
Many thanks again to you for making our planning and our holiday work
out so well. We will certainly recommend you to anybody we know who is
planning a holiday in Malaysia. And we are thinking that we might go
back there again within the next couple of years, so we might be in
touch again. If we are ever in KL for any reason, we will certainly
look for you.
Thanks again and Best Wishes
From Dr Robert Mckay(20 days tour for Kinabatangan river, Maliau Basin,
Danum Valley and Tabin Wildlife reserve)

What Mr/Mrs hugh Say,
Just a note to say how
much we enjoyed our trip to Sabah. Andrew was an
excellent guide, and the birds were exciting. Plus we saw orangutans
and many
other good mammals in the wild! All accommodations were
excellent as
well. So we were very satisfied, and thank you very much for all
your
help in arranging our tour.
I shall recommend
Endemic Guides to my birdwatching (and other) friends.
Best wishes,
Hugh Dingle ( USA -Currently resident in Australia, 12 days
birding tour in Kinabalu Park + Sepilok +SAndakan +
Kinabatangan River + Danum Valley)

What Mr/Mrs Youren say
about our tour.
We finally arrived in the
UK on Jan 16th.
We both wanted to thank you for organising our bird trips - the
one in Kuala
Selangor/Frazer Hill with Lee Kok Chung and the second one in
Penang with Mr
Kumar.
We wanted to express our thanks to Lee Kok Chung - the 3 days
were very busy
but very rewarding - his enthusiasm and bird knowledge were
superb and he
was also excellent company with a great sense of humour. Lots of
high lights
on the trip with a total of 122 species identified - but
especially seeing
the orange breasted trogon, the gold whiskered and red throated
barbet,
blue winged leafbird, chestnut capped laughing thrush, silver
eared mesia
and a host of other birds. We also appreciated how well Lee was
organised
with good bird books and a comprehensive check list. Please use
this
testimonial on your website if you would like to do so.
We will certainly recommend your service to our friends back
in the UK if
they are planning to travel to Malaysia - we hope to get back
again perhaps
to Sabah and Taman Negara and would like if we do you use your
services
again.
Once again many thanks,
Veronica and John Youren

What Mr Dave Tour say about our birding tour,
I
would like to thank EndemicGuides for organising my 4 day
stopover in
Malaysia - all of the travel and hotel arrangements worked
extremely well.
My guide Lee showed an impressive ability to find birds even in
thick
rainforest - and great patience in ensuring that I saw every
bird that he
did. All in all a very enjoyable 4 days and I would recommend
EndemicGuides
to anyone wanting a birding trip in the area.
