We spent five days in the remote virgin tropical rainforest at the Borneo Rainforest Lodge in Danum Valley. It's one of the best places in the world to observe wild Orang utans. We also saw red-leaf monkeys, a large jungle cat called a "civet" and a samba deer. Also a huge prehistoric-looking bird called Anhinga from our balcony.
To catch this picture, even though it's indistinct, Albert and his guide ran through the jungle to be able to view a large alpha male orang utan. On the way he also caught a leech inside his shirt and earned him the coveted Blood Donor Award from the lodge.

Here we are enjoying the excellent food at this 5-star lodge amongst the 120-million-year-old tropical rainforest!
Albert and our guide, Donnie, who was Martha Stewart's guide the previous month. He took us on day-time and night-time treks. The animals and birds we saw were difficult to photograph in the rainforest jungle as they wouldn't sit still to get their photo taken.
The hikers.
Here was a large animal that posed for a photo.
