Day 2: Pangkor Island
Arrive on Pulau Pangkor, an island just off the central Malaysian coast. The island was most likely first settled when refugees fled in the path of powerful armies which swept along the peninsula. Later, with expanding European spice trade, pirates discovered hidden Pangkor coves. The main island town is known as Pangkor Village, but beaches and plush resorts are the main attractions.
Day 3: Tarutao Island
Sail for Ko Tarutao, a relatively large island which features rugged and mountainous peaks stretching more than 500 meters high. The Malay word "tarutao" means old, mysterious and primitive, and today Ko Tarutao retains these qualities even though it's been bisected by a long path of blazing white concrete. Ko Tarutao is a haven for wildlife, and sea turtles, whales, monitor lizards, crab-eating macaques, mouse deer, and countless species of birds all call the island and its surrounding waters home.
Day 4: Phuket
Arrive in Phuket, widely known for its fine resorts and traditional Thai culture. Visit South Phuket's Wat Chalong and its Grand Pagoda, one of the island's most revered sites, which preserves a fragment of Lord Buddha's bone. After touring the area, curl up on a quiet section of Ao Patong (Patong Beach) and soak in the tropical views. Take a short Phang Nga cruise or join your guide to ride an elephant.

Sail for A Dang Island and visit Tarutao National Park in Thailand's southern Satun Province. The area is full of white sand beaches and fringed with colorful coral reef.
Day 6: Penang Island
One of 13 Malaysian states, Penang Island is just 110 sq miles. The island was independent until the British Raj arrived. In 1786, Captain Francis Light acquired Penang from the Sultan on behalf of the British East India Company. Georgetown is a pleasant place of colonial architecture and atmosphere. Fort Cornwallis' weathered walls are just about the center of town, and the fort – Captain Light's landing site – is one of Penang's oldest English structures.

Sail for Malacca which, according to official records, was established in 1390AD. Learn about the Dutch Colonial heritage or relax on the fine beaches of the area.

Beyond expectations! Then again we weren't sure what to expect. Lovely stay at the lodge, met other like-minded travelers (many had their trips planned by Adventure Life) and the owner was a gracious hostess. It felt like you were one happy family, visiting with a favorite aunt.

The trip was not only memorable for the amount of animals we saw but also for the people and accommodations at the two camps where we stayed. Our first guide, BK, was a wealth of information about the animals, landscape and down to the plants and what they were used for. Everyday out was a learning experience with him. All the people at the camps were gracious and the food was excellent.
Our second camp in the Okavanga was just as good as the first as far as the staff, accommodations, food and animals. After our experience at the first camp we amazed that the high quality remained the same. Our guide, G, made sure we were able to enjoy every experience including a rush through the bush to witness a cheetah and an ensuing hunt that he heard over his radio.
In both camps there were enough guides out that if they saw something the other guides were informed which helped in seeing as much as possible. It was also nice that the concessions were large enough that we did not have vehicles following each other throughout the day.
Normally there is always something in a trip of this length that we think could be improved upon but this is the rare case where we cannot think of anything. From the time we left the States to when we returned it was one of the most hassle free vacations we took.
Perhaps emphasizing the use of the laundry facilities at the camps would be useful because of the luggage restrictions would be the only thing I can think of as an improvement to future clients.
