Welcome to the Jungle


We have just come back from 'Uncle Tan's Jungle camp' which to Karen's horror was just a camp in the middle of the jungle...only reachable by boat and a short muddy trek. Wildlife was amazing...we were lucky and saw 4 Orang Utans in the wild...the sanctury was cool but this was amazing. We went on boat safaris in the morning and at night, and did short treks during the day and at night. Saw: Reticulated Python, mangrove snake, Scorpion, several species of tree frog, several species of monkey, wild pig (in camp) and big monitors (in camp) and loads of bird species and insect species. At night, you could get real close to roosting birds, like the Stork billed kingfisher in the picture.

So, was it a case of "I'm a teacher, get me out of here!"
It sounds like the kind of adventure Karen would want to watch from the comfort of her armchair on TV.
Amazing stuff!
