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."

Md Susanna Garcia and Ellen Hahn (Louisiana, USA), July 2006

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 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
