THIS EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY begins
on the island of Borneo where you visit
the elegant palaces and mosques of
Brunei, observe gentle orangutans in
Sabah, and enjoy the traditional hospitality of the Dayak people in Kalimantan. Cruise to Sulawesi for a
visit to Toraja where highlights include
elaborately-carved architecture and
effigy-guarded Cliffside graves. View the legendary Komodo dragon

Jonathan is a medical doctor by profession; however, his lifelong interest in wildlife has resulted in extensive travels throughout the world. He is the author of the acclaimed Where to Watch Birds in Uganda and birding site guides to
Southern Africa and Madagascar. During his extensive travels he has gained
experience with over 7,500 bird species and 700 mammal species. Though his

fishes, and all aspects of natural history.
Shirley Campbell
Shirley is an anthropologist, author, university lecturer, and yoga teacher. After
graduating from Stephens College, she completed a thesis titled Massim Carved
Art before living for two years on the tiny island of Vakuta, where she became fluent in the local language while undertaking research towards her Ph.D. from
the Australian National University. She is the author of The Art of Kula, which for
the first time decoded the complex meanings behind the intricate carved canoe
prow boards of the Trobriand Islands in Papua New Guinea.
