  • Borneo, Malaysia) 2019 October 7Th-31St Lennart Verheuvel
    Tripreport Sabah (Borneo, Malaysia) 2019 October 7th-31st Lennart Verheuvel www.shutterednature.com Sabah October 7th till October 31st. This was the second part of the trip I had planned to do after my studies were finished. Initially the plan was to go to Borneo for three months, I actually have asked for advice on the forum of Mammalwatching.com for that. Later I decided to change my mind and go for South-America, even later I decided to go for a combo: first three months South-America and then three weeks in Borneo. The road to Borneo was a long and bumpy one and I also ran into some difficulties during the trip, but in the end it was all worth it. The funny thing was that literally a week before my plane left, I still wasn’t sure if I could go, so looking back I’m really glad it all worked out. I travelled by myself but I did the first thirteen days of the trip together with Duncan McNiven and Debbie Pain from England and later we did our first five nights in Deramakot with Stuart Chapman and Nick Cox. It was nice searching for mammals (and birds) with these guys and it was really cool that the four of use managed to see Clouded Leopard together on one of the last nights of Stuart and Nick. I did fly on Tawau, which is not the nearest airport if you want to go to Danum but that was because I was first supposed to go with someone else, who backed out last minute and it was too expensive to change the destination.

  • Borneo's Rare Mammals
    Tour Report Borneo – Borneo’s Rare Mammals 29 September – 12 October 2019 Binturong Colugo Malay civet Proboscis monkey Compiled by: Terry Goble 01962 302086 [email protected] www.wildlifeworldwide.com Tour Leader: Siti Salihahfarhain Saidin This tour aimed to deliver views of Borneo’s iconic species and the itinerary reflected this. The primates of Kinabatangan were fabulous, with great views of the proboscis monkey, a fine supporting cast of macaques and langurs and the bonus of ‘Harry’ a young male, fully wild, orangutan. Nocturnal species were also catered for on our night boat rides. Saltwater crocodiles, owls and civets were seen regularly, not forgetting the ‘Christmas tree’ of fireflies. The jewel in the crown is Deramakot Forest, home of the elusive clouded leopard. Although we were not fortunate enough to see this beautiful cat on this occasion, we were, however, very fortunate to enjoy a wealth of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians and other weird and wonderful wildlife. The diversity and abundance of wildlife meant there were creatures to enthral everyone. Highlights included spending time watching a family of binturong, coming across a short-tailed python and enjoying the spectacular birdwing butterflies. Every night drive produced new and exciting species as well as a regular diet of leopard cat, the strange colugo, civets and owls. Day time drives produced sightings of sambar deer, bearded pig and perhaps best of all a dramatic acrobatic display from a troop of Borneo gibbons! In addition to all of this, there were the adorable loris, impressive hornbills, colourful sunbirds and cryptic, fascinating bugs, leaf mantis, stick insects and huge moths.

    INDIA Date - February 2017 Duration - 25 Days Destinations Kolkata - Guwahati - Nameri National Park - Pakke Wildlife Sanctuary - Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary - Kaziranga National Park - Jorhat - Hoollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary - Dehing Patkai Wildlife Sanctuary Trip Overview This was meant to be the first of a number of spectacular tours in 2017 and the fact that it did not proceed as planned, highlights not only some of the difficulties involved with remote wildlife travel, but, more specifically, what can go wrong when you visit certain areas of India. I had been working on this trip for some time, as Arunachal Pradesh and Assam, the two states that I would visit on this tour, plus the bordering states of Nagaland and Manipur, which I intended to explore the following year, are all home to an astounding variety of rare mammals and the entire region is one of the most diverse in all of South Asia. Of the eight cat species that occur in this part of northeast India, I was hoping to encounter clouded leopard, Asiatic golden cat and marbled cat on this one tour and other very real possibilities included sun bear, Asiatic black bear, sloth bear, dhole, binturong, spotted linsang, large Indian civet, masked palm civet, small-toothed palm civet, yellow-throated marten, Asian small-clawed otter, hog badger, large-toothed ferret badger, small- toothed ferret badger, Bengal slow loris, Malayan porcupine and Chinese pangolin. A red panda sighting was also a realistic prospect and although we would not reach there on this occasion, further north in Arunachal Pradesh, Eurasian lynx and snow leopards increase the cat tally in this extraordinary region to an equally remarkable ten.
