Perched on the northern tip of Borneo, Malaysia’s easternmost state is a prime destination for adventurous travelers. From majestic mountains to virgin rainforests to turquoise-blue seas, Sabah has it all. It is a paradise for budding naturalists and wildlife enthusiasts alike, with some of the world’s most fascinating flora and fauna, and the cultural diversity of over thirty different ethnic groups will leave you inspired.
On the western side of Malaysian Borneo, Sarawak makes access to Borneo’s natural wonders and cultural riches a breeze. By far the largest state in Malaysia, it packs in a host of national parks which showcase everything from coastal swamp forests to one of the world’s largest cave systems. Along the way, you can spot orangutans, proboscis monkeys, langurs, bearded pigs, crocodiles, and the world’s largest flower, the Rafflesia – which can also be visited on day trips from Kuching, Borneo’s most sophisticated and dynamic city. With plenty of time in the evening to soak up the laid-back atmosphere and enjoy the old colonial charm of its waterfront.
At every turn, you’ll encounter unforced warmth, friendliness, and sense of humour that make the people of Malaysia’s most culturally diverse state such delightful hosts. With its beguiling tribal cultures and jungled highlands, the most adventurous traveler may find themselves visiting longhouse communities, some of which can only be reached by venturing far upriver.
