“Thrilling natural encounters abound in the lush wilds of Borneo,” exclaims GeoEx travel expert, Tina Liadis, recalling her run-ins with six types of hornbill, a revved-up elephant, and a reticulated python. She’s designed this river-cruising and jungle-walking Malaysia trip to take travelers deep into Borneo’s rain forest, home to a mind-boggling array of flora and fauna.
