A journey to Borneo It all started fifteen years ago. I was working in a bank and I badly needed a rest so I went to Jersey for a holiday. Somebody in the hotel recommended I visit the Gerald Durrell Sanctuary. What really impressed me at the sanctuary were the orang-utans. I remember watching a mother and baby for over an hour - they really are the cutest animals. They looked straight into my eyes and their games really made me laugh.

When I got home, I read all the books I could get and watched TV documentaries about these incredible animals. I did everything I could to learn about them. And then, three years ago, I was looking for a winter holiday somewhere in Scotland when a leaflet from a travel agency came in the mail about watching orang-utans. It wasn’t exactly what I wanted, but they finally enabled me to spend two weeks with orang-utans in a nursery for orphaned babies at the Sepiok Rehabilitation Centre in Borneo. I completely forgot about Scotland at that moment.

Such an exotic place could be a shock for some visitors, but not for me because I had seen all those films and TV documentaries about the jungle and the wildlife. I knew what to expect, but what I wasn’t prepared for was the weather. Immediately after landing in Borneo we set off in jeeps to our camp. We were to stay deep in the jungle, but halfway there we were hit by a monsoon.

The road was collapsing, trees were blowing down and the bridge we crossed came down just behind us. We had to spend the night in the jungle.

The next day, we finally got to the camp and started our work. I was wondering what it was about orang-utans that really captured my heart and finally I found out the first time I held a baby. There was one orphan in the centre having problems learning to climb trees. His name was Jamil. Every day, I would take him out to a tree and help him practice like his mother would. By the end of the week, little Jamil held his hands out for me to pick him up and screamed - just like a baby would. I couldn’t help laughing. Even though we spoke different languages, the communication between us was amazing. The word orang-utan translates as ‘man of the forest,’ which is so true. Sometimes the orang-utans seem so human although in the wild they can be very dangerous. My whole life has changed since my trip to Borneo. I have started writing a book about orang-utans and I am planning my second trip to Borneo next year.
