Rainforest area we will take you to is in one of Brunei's forest reserves,
this area has never been logged and is still in its primary state. Several
species of gian dipterocarp trees tower up to 50 meters. The peat swamp
is dense with vegetation including numerous growths of the colourful
lipstick palm, Cyrtustachys Renda. This unique area of natural heritage
is home to many rare species including the Sun Bear, Borneo Gibbon, Clouded
Leopard (Borneo's largest wild cat), and 8 species of hornbill.
