"A superb 10-day trip in March 2024. Weng Chun responded quickly to all our numerous questions while in the planning stage of the trip and he tailored it perfectly to ensure that we saw as many lifers as possible. Weng Chun is a consummate professional, combining his intimate knowledge of the birds of Peninsula Malaysia with great organisational skills and a sharp sense of humour. If we “dipped” on a species in one location, he went well out of his way to take us to an alternative location to secure a sighting. His knowledge of the mammals, reptiles, butterflies and dragonflies is extensive and greatly added to our enjoyment. Weng Chun is excellent company and we loved swapping birding/travelling stories with him over some delicious meals. We have no hesitation in fully recommending his services and with his infectious love of nature, you will undoubtably have a truly memorable trip with him." - Steve & Catherine, UK
