Our exciting Borneo – Black Oriole & Dulit Frogmouth Extension takes us into Sarawak province, where we will venture into some remote mountain forest zones in search of two of the island’s least-known and most seldom-seen endemics. Both the Black Oriole and Dulit Frogmouth are quite simply among the most mythical birds to have ever been discovered on the island, and we are therefore very pleased and excited to offer the fantastic opportunity of seeking these incredible rarities!
The Budget Borneo Birding tour has been designed to provide prime Bornean birding and wildlife viewing at an economical price, and at a shorter duration for those with less time to spare in the field.
For all these departures we can expect to see several species of fabulous pittas, trogons, kingfishers, woodpeckers, broadbills, leafbirds, ioras, pheasants, babblers, bulbuls, as well as a broad range of exciting mammals, including Orangutan. We will bird along forest trails, boardwalks, through mangrove forests, rainforest canopy walkways, and even from boats as we cruise along jungle rivers. Highlights might include the magnificent Great Argus displaying at close quarters, Crested Fireback, Crimson-headed Partridge, Whitehead’s Trogon, Rhinoceros & Helmeted Hornbill, Great Slaty Woodpecker and the eye-searingly bright Banded, Blue-headed and Garnet Pittas.
