Most of the land in Sabah, located in Malaysian Borneo, is covered by pristine tropical rainforests. The rich biodiversity has made this land home to numerous national parks and wildlife centers, earning it the reputation of the ‘Amazon of the South Seas’. Here you can find Southeast Asia’s highest peak—Mount Kinabalu, one of the world’s top diving paradises—Sipadan Island, or explore the world’s most pristine rainforests to discover the world’s largest flower—the Rafflesia, as well as encounter Sabah’s famous orangutans, proboscis monkeys, and other rare wildlife.

Sabah is a multicultural coexistence formed by over 30 ethnic groups and more than 80 dialects, including indigenous peoples such as the Kadazan-Dusun, the Bajau, and the Murut, who were historically known as headhunters. To explore the unique characteristics of these different tribes, you can visit the Mari-Mari Cultural Village in Sabah. This ethnic village, whose name means “Come ! Come!” in Malay, opened last December and is located in the mountains about forty minutes by car from downtown Kota Kinabalu, the capital of Sabah.

However, entry to the Mari-Mari Cultural Village requires a prior reservation.
