Sabah

　　       Introduction        The filming location of the recently popular European and American show *Survivor Africa* is in Sabah National Park. It’s hard to say whether the perilous wilderness or the contestants’ grueling struggle for survival captivated more viewers.     In the arid northern part of Kenya, the rushing Ewaso Nyiro River creates an oasis that attracts a wealth of wildlife to its banks—this is where Sabah National Park is located. The lush green forests near the river present a striking contrast to the dry, thorny plains and wilderness. During the dry season, elephants use their tusks to dig into the parched riverbed, uncovering precious water, which also sustains other wildlife.     Sabah was also where Joy Adamson, author of *Born Free*, spent her final years and where she released a leopard back into the wild. Her last book, *Queen of Shaba*, depicts her life experiences in Sabah.
