点评:Based upon recommendations from a friend, we engaged 1stopboreno for our 11 day journey through Sabah. It could not have been easier or more enjoyable. Each day was a new adventure with 2-3 activities per day all accompanied by experienced and educated wildlife conservationists.
We were picked up in Kota Kinabalu and taken to Sayup in KK park for waterfall trekking and night walks to see the most fantastic insects and frogs. From there we ventured to Deramakot for day and night wild life drives and boat ride on a timber plantation that has adopted sustainable harvesting practices. We then headed to Kinabatangan for river rides. Despite periodic heavy rains we had great animal spotting day and night. After the river we headed to Inikea Park for more night and day drives. Inikea is reclaimed forest that was destroyed in the 90s by wildfire and replanted and studied by a Swedish University for more than 20 years. Lastly, we landed at Tawau Hills for forest walks. Each portion of the trip was unique with new wildlife unfolding and our knowledge base expanding. We saw 6 of 8 species of hornbills, Pygmy elephants, crocodiles, proboscis/red leaf/silverleaf/tarsir, pigtail and common macaque/orangutans, binturong, palm civits, endangered storm storks, fireflies, blue eared kingfisher, flying fox bats, Thomas flying squirrel, colugos, blue tarantula, crested serpent eagle, snakes, Wallace Flying frog, and sooooo much more. I must say that the food was amazing.
Our favorite food was Deramakot and our favorite accommodations were at Inikea. Our group had three people and at two other times we were joined by a fellow traveler. So if you enjoy local food, small group travel, helping an NGO firm in their conservation efforts and want all logistics handled, we highly recommend this group. Usually my husband and I are DIY travelers but this trip we appreciated the extra knowledge offered by this group at places where there were no other travelers.
翻译:根据朋友的推荐,我们选择了 1stopboreno 进行为期 11 天的沙巴之旅。这趟旅程轻松愉快,令人难忘。每天都是一次新的冒险,每天有 2-3 项活动,由经验丰富、知识渊博的野生动物保护人士陪同。
我们在哥打京那巴鲁上车,前往哥打京那巴鲁公园的 Sayup 进行瀑布徒步和夜间散步,观赏最奇特的昆虫和青蛙。之后,我们前往 Deramakot 进行日夜野生动物驱车游,并乘船游览采用可持续采伐方式的木材种植园。之后,我们前往京那巴当岸进行河上游览。尽管偶尔会下大雨,但我们还是在白天和晚上都看到了许多动物。游览完河后,我们前往 Inikea 公园进行更多日夜驱车游。Inikea 是一片在 90 年代被山火摧毁的再生林,后来由瑞典一所大学重新种植并进行了 20 多年的研究。最后,我们抵达斗湖山进行森林漫步。旅程的每一部分都独具特色,我们不断邂逅新的野生动物,知识储备也不断扩展。我们看到了8种犀鸟中的6种,包括侏儒象、鳄鱼、长鼻猴/红叶猴/银叶猴/眼镜猴、猪尾猴、普通猕猴/猩猩、熊狸、棕榈狸、濒危的风暴鹳、萤火虫、蓝耳翠鸟、狐蝠、托马斯鼯鼠、鼯猴、蓝狼蛛、凤头蛇雕、蛇、华莱士飞蛙等等。不得不说,这里的食物棒极了。
我们最喜欢的食物是德拉马科特餐厅 (Deramakot),最喜欢的住宿是伊尼凯 (Inikea)。我们一行三人,还有两次有一位旅伴加入。所以,如果您喜欢当地美食、小团旅行、帮助非政府组织开展保护工作,并且希望所有后勤工作都能得到妥善处理,我们强烈推荐这个旅行团。通常我和我的丈夫都是 DIY 旅行者,但这次旅行我们很感谢这个团队在没有其他旅行者的地方提供的额外知识。
