Sabah is a Malaysian state occupying the northern part of the island of Borneo. It's famed for its 4,095m-tall Mount Kinabalu, the country’s highest peak, crowned with distinctive granite spires. Sabah is also known for its beaches, rainforest, coral reefs and abundant wildlife, much of it within parks and reserves. Offshore, the Sipadan and Mabul islands are noted diving destinations.

Visit the popular Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre which is home to many orphaned or rescued ‘man of the forest’. Stay in the heart of the jungle on the banks of the Kinabatangan river where you will spot crocodiles, proboscis monkeys, pygmy elephants, long tailed macaques, kingfishers and other wildlife. And finally, relax on Gaya Island, the largest of 5 islands forming the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park in Sabah. With superb beaches, walking trails through the rainforest where you will see an array of birdlife, monitor lizards and possibly some macaque monkeys. With great snorkelling and swimming, the island is a true paradise.
