Tour Overview

Peninsular Malaysia – a pleasant, trouble-free country with a modern infrastructure, a flourishing economy, and home to rich Dipterocarp forests, among the world’s oldest, most fascinating and most diverse. Our Malaysia Peninsula birding tour focuses on two exquisite areas, the attractive hill station of Fraser’s Hill and the lowland mangroves of Kuala Selangor.

From comfortable accommodations, we should be treated to a wealth of wildlife – raptors, bee-eaters, malcohas, trogons, broadbills, barbets, hornbills and woodpeckers, and challenging flycatchers, babblers and bulbuls. Siamangs (a species of Gibbon) should delight us as they greet the dawn. We walk along forest trails among towering rainforest trees and relax in cool montane surroundings.

We also take in the coastal lowlands and mangroves of Kuala Selangor, for herons, kingfishers, barbets, whistlers and specialties such as Mangrove Pitta and Mangrove Blue Flycatcher. Silvered Leaf Monkeys and Long-tailed Macaques are quite common here, Smooth Otters are a specialty, and Monitor Lizards are frequent. And – there should be fabulous food, interesting cultures, friendly people, and a generally exotic atmosphere.

This tour can be combined with our Borneo: Bristleheads & Orangutans tour
