Imagine this.<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s midday. You can tell by the warmth of the tropical sun, and the drop of sweat escaping the creases in your forehead. The sound of chirping birds, buzzing insects, and gushing water coalesce into quiet whispers, time slowing down as the unmistakable orange fur of the Orang Utan becomes clearer and clearer with every twist of your lens. Your hands are shaky, your heart is pounding \u2013 and then \u2013 click!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The perfect<\/em> shot!<\/p>\n

Getting right into the heart of the wilderness and coming back with beautiful raw footage of nature\u2026 it is an unforgettable experience, especially for those who visit Sabah (the northern portion of Borneo Island). Here, virgin rainforest, rolling hills, mesmerising islands and wonderful animals are just begging to be recorded\u00a0 so you can relive the experience over and over again.<\/p>\n

Before you start documenting your adventures here however, remember: at some places in Borneo, you will need to pay a camera fee.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry \u2013 the proceeds from these fees go to a good cause. They are used to maintain the pristine beauty and sanctity of these locations as well as the welfare of local wildlife. In other words, you\u2019ll be helping out with conservation efforts while also taking a memorable piece of Borneo back with you. It\u2019s a win-win<\/em> situation for everyone!<\/em><\/p>\n

The Poring Hotsprings<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, Poring is not too far from Kinabalu National Park. It\u2019s where you go for a relaxing dip in naturally heated groundwater pools or a thrilling walk through high suspension bridges and canopy walkways. For the latter, you will need to pay a small fee to record anything, but it\u2019s pretty affordable \u2013 and well worth the cost.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
