12-21st June 2025
The trip started in Tanjung Aru Beach then flew off to Rainforest Discovery Centre and Kinabatangan River for a few nights. The remaining trips were spent at Danum Valley, Mt. Alab and Mt. Kinabalu. I took the chances to try the Swarovski AX Visio 10x32 and the Sony A6700 + 400-800mm lens in the rainforest of Danum Valley and without hesitation, those device passes with flying colours!
