The Borneo Bird Festival

14th to 16th October 2011

Sepilok Rainforest Discovery Center

Sandakan, Sabah

It’s that time of the year again for the annual Borneo Bird Festival and as in previous years, it will be held at the Sepilok Rainforest Discovery Center (RDC) in Sandakan. This is the premier event in Borneo’s birding calendar and it will be a really exciting time filled with booth exhibitions, talks, guided walks, competitions and even a bird race.

I am an invited speaker this year and will be presenting a short session on “The Art of Nature & Bird Photography” on the morning of 16th October 2011 which is a Sunday.

- Special 4D/3N Big Game of Borneo Package -

In conjunction to this event, I will be offering a 4D/3N package to the Kinabatangan at a specially reduced price and the group is limited to only 4 persons. The itinerary will be the same as my #NBK-4/3FB package and the offer price is only MYR 2,390.00 per person.

Departure is on 17th October (Monday) and we will return to Sandakan on the 20th October (Thursday)
