Good safari trips fill up weeks ahead; the great ones go first. Below: the 6 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
A 5-hour Kilim mangrove safari by boat in Langkawi with hotel pickup, a real lunch, caves, wildlife spotting, and a beach stop.
“Great tour and guide! Saw lots of cool amimals and the included lunch was pretty good! Boat was fun and not too cramped. Definitely great value!”
5-hour Langkawi mangrove kayak with Kilim Karst tides, Bat Cave bats, and optional lunch at a floating fish farm. From $71.
“Really fun adventure and a great way to see the mangroves considering most tourists access the main river channels by motor boat. Great mix of flora and fauna enroute and our guide Sham was very knowledgeable and took phenomenal pictures and videos along the way.”
Spot proboscis monkeys by day and fireflies at night on a Kota Kinabalu river cruise, with pickup, tea, and an Asian buffet dinner.
“It was a good chance to witness the wild life of Borneo just two hours away from the city. We have seen monkeys in their natural habitat and experienced firefly show after the dark. The meal was also fine”
A torchlit night walk in Kubah National Park, chasing frogs and other rainforest critters with a guide, lights, and a raincoat.
“Danny is an exceptionally professional guide with a keen eye and extensive experience. Thanks to him, we were able to spot over 15 species of frogs in just over two hours, including the Bornean Long-nosed Horned Frog and Wallace's Flying Read more”
Klias Wildlife Safari River Cruise from Kota Kinabalu: proboscis monkeys in mangroves, then fireflies at night, with high tea and dinner.
“We were picked up at 1.30 by Walter our excellent guide and proceeded on a 2hr drive to the river. We then cruised and saw various monkeys and birds followed by a lovely dinner. We then went out again after dark to see the amazing fireflies and then a 2hr drive back. Loved it all and would recommend”
Spend a day in Malacca at A’Famosa, choosing Safari Wonderland or the Water Theme Park, with scheduled shows and family rides.
“Had a really nice experience at the Safari at A’ Famosa in Malacca! Despite it being the peak season, the place was well-managed and we still got to enjoy all the attractions. The animal shows were entertaining, and the safari ride was a highlight — seeing the animals up close was amazing! Great place for families and kids. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Malacca!”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
