SMALL WONDERS STEAL THE NIGHT BY JOHN OATES “Any large animal could have trampled the plants beside the wooden walkway, but the footprints were unmistakable. Pygmy elephants had wandered through our camp overnight and we had missed them. This was to be our last morning at Bilit

Adventure Lodge (
stwadventure.com), one of several lodges overlooking the Kinabatangan River and its tributaries. The area is among the best places to see Borneo’s wildlife, and is one of only two places in the world which supports 10 species of primates. On boat trips over the past couple of
days we’d been thrilled to see several proboscis monkeys and even an elusive orang-utan. We’d also spotted some of the endangered pygmy elephants from afar. So when we saw those footprints outside
our cabin we had no right to be disappointed, but of course we were. Then, settling down to breakfast, we heard banging coming from near the camp’s water storage tanks. We did what any self- respecting tourists would do and grabbed our cameras.”
“Head to George Town, Penang, to experience Chinese, Indian and Malay culture and gastronomy in one city”
