Welcome to the 'Jungle Dave' Tour Experience

Jungle Dave manages a company called Mona Florafauna Tours and what he doesn't know about the Brunei jungle and it's wildlife isn't worth knowing!

He was given the name 'Jungle' Dave by no less a person than Sir David Attenborough himself when he was visiting Brunei to make a documentary about proboscis monkeys. Sir David was so impressed with the way that Dave was able to talk to the monkeys in their own language and call them over that he gave him the epithet Jungle Dave and the name stuck!

Jungle Dave – Brunei’s leading guide, environmentalist, cultural anthropologist, and general rainforest renaissance man. This 37-year old as been guiding intrepid adventurers deep into the uncharted Bornean rainforests for the past 21 years. In that time, he has become the leading expert on Brunei’s wildly diverse flora and fauna. He is the undisputed go-to guru for one of the most intense jungle experiences in the region.

  In recent years, he has taken this intimate knowledge and has become a one-man beacon for the environmental and cultural protection of Brunei’s pristine rainforests.
