Come and enjoy our Tropical Playground...
There are so many reasons to visit starting with “Every day is a warm summer’s day in tropical Sabah Malaysian Borneo!”
The River Kinabatangan offers a rare opportunity to enjoy wildlife in their natural habitat, whilst the renowned Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre is loved by visitors of all ages. Add to that the beauty and splendour of Sabah’s virgin tropical rainforest and the majesty of Kinabalu National Park with its huge diversity of flora, fauna, mammals and 326 species of birds. Designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 2000, the National Park’s centrepiece is the extraordinary Mount Kinabalu which at 4,095 metres is one of the tallest mountains in the world accessible to those with non-specialist mountaineering skills. Sabah’s coast has lots of beautiful pulau (islands) and the sea is never cooler than warm…all year round!
Speaking of the coast the sunsets on the west coast of Sabah are often spectacular as the sun sets over the South China Sea and to view the sunrise from the peak of Mount Kinabalu is something precious never to be forgotten.
If you are searching for adventure there are loads of outdoor activities to enjoy from the three day climb to the summit of Mount Kinabalu to white-water rafting, cycling, trekking and diving. If you want something a little more restful or simply want to relax after some outdoor activities there are a number of fantastic resorts to enjoy.
The delicious Sabahan food is wonderfully eclectic taking in many influences from Malay, Chinese and the local indigenous Kadazan Dusun people and we must make special mention of the wonderfully welcoming, friendly and smiling Sabahan people who all want you to take home happy memories of your visit to their beloved Sabah homeland. A trip to Sabah is one of adventure, discovery, education and relaxation and you can decide how much of each ingredient you’d like your holiday to contain.
