Our Testimonial
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.
