We had a great experience at the BNSBR. The first thing I have to mention is our boat guide, Rodel. He was absolutely amazing! He was determined for us to see Pygmy elephants. He took us miles down the river in order to find them. When he did find them, it was wonderful! There were about 6 elephants of different ages. So serene. It was a real privilege to see these wonderful animals. Rodel also had fantastic and extensive knowledge of the wildlife and jungle. We spotted 4 of the Bornean big 5, everything but orangutans but we have seen many of them in the wild in Sumatra. With regards to the accommodation… it is basic and the rooms are quite small. We had a deluxe triple and it was in a building with two other family rooms. You could hear everything from the other rooms, the walls are very thin layer of wood. So bring ear plugs or noise cancelling headphones. In my opinion, the food was plentiful and delicious. There was a good variety, no one is going hungry in Borneo Natural Sukau Billit. There is WiFi, which surprised us but you have to pay a small fee per device. As I said, the accommodation is basic but when you think about the cost (approx £120 per person for 3D2N), it’s very reasonable. Within that, you have breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, 6 river cruises, jungle trek, transfers to and from airport/Sepilok area. So you can’t really complain. If you want a more luxurious option, then you have to pay the price.
