We were surprised to discover we had our own personal guide for our family for the duration of our 4D3N tour. Berry was extremely accommodating and an excellent driver - would highly recommend him. We were collected from Semporna (a 4-hour drive) and dropped off at our next accommodation in Sandakan. We booked a shared dorm in Kinabatangan and the communal toilet/shower block appeared to be permanently being cleaned so was always spotless. Buffet meals were good. Would possibly suggest to others that 3D2N would be sufficient - however, we were lucky to see the elephants twice which was really special both times. If you miss them one day then you would definitely want to stay longer to see if you might be lucky the next. Sepilok was touristy so we chose to visit in the afternoon when it was quieter - by doing this you are only likely to see the orangutans feeding in the nursery area - but the viewing area has A/C so it’s a win win!! Overall, very touristy compared to Danum if you get the chance to go there.

Siamo stati accolti dallo staff in modo molto cordiale e accogliente. Gli alloggi erano molto modesti ma era quello che ci aspettavamo. Le escursioni nella foresta sono sempre state molto interessanti e abbiamo imparato molte cose. È stata un'esperienza molto impegnativa, ma comunque unica. Grazie alle guide molto preparate e disponibili.

It was an amazing experience ! I felt useful to help people taking care of animals, accommodations are good if you don't really care about comfort things like hot shower. People are really nice and helpful !

It was one of the best experiences of my life! At the beginning, the work can be hard, but once you get used to it, it’s fine. I really enjoyed my four weeks at Cikananga, even though I don’t have a background in animal care. The staff is very kind and supportive. The accommodation is nice, except for the cold showers… This experience helped me learn more about myself and develop my self-confidence. I discovered new animals and learned how they can be rehabilitated and eventually returned to the wild. I highly recommend Cikananga Wildlife Center to anyone looking for a unique and rewarding experience.

My daughter and I had an amazing 2 weeks volunteering on the Perhentian Turtle Project in June. We would definitely recommend the trip, and it was fun as well as being educational. We saw many green sea turtles, snorkelled, saw turtles nesting and also hatchlings emerging. I felt that we were able to make a contribution, even just in the 2 weeks we were there. And you don't need to have a science or research degree to get involved. The Malaysian Wildlife staff were helpful and responsive and the booking process was straight forward. The volunteer information that was provided was comprehensive and we felt prepared. The volunteering project itself was well run, transparent, and ethical and I am glad we booked through Malaysian Wildlife.
