Borneo, Indonesia |
(Proboscis monkey) Yes, this fellow is real, and a trip to this tropical island could let you see him. In fact, Borneo is an ideal Holiday destination because its most popular season is March through October. The difference in seasons is minimal, though, since it's hot humid and rainy year-round. In December there are fewer travelers and some of the best flight availability of the year. The ancient primeval rainforest here harbors an Orang-Utan sanctuary, pygmy elephants, proboscis monkeys with huge noses, and Bornean gibbons who sing to each other, among countless other rare and endemic species. Highlights include a special expedition to see Borneo's unique flying and gliding mammals. Night excursions reveal tarsiers and slow loris, two of the world's smallest and cutest primates. Sadly Borneo's rainforest is disappearing at alarming rates due to palm oil cultivation, making it an important "see it while you can" destination. |
