Sabah (Borneo)

As one of the best preserved areas of pristine rainforest in Borneo, the Danum Valley offers unparalleled opportunities for observing rare wildlife and exploring untouched nature.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this National Park hosts majestic Mount Kinabalu, Southeast Asia's highest peak, and is a biodiversity hotspot with unique flora and fauna.

Sabah's vibrant capital, Kota Kinabalu, serves on Borneo as an important gateway to a wealth of natural experiences and cultural diversity. Here, you'll discover a fascinating blend of cultures, reflected in its bustling markets and diverse gastronomy. An absolute highlight is the Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park, a group of five islands just off the coast, inviting for snorkeling and relaxation. Visit the Gaya Street Sunday Market on Sunday mornings for local handicrafts and authentic delicacies, or experience a spectacular sunset at Tanjung Aru Beach. The floating City Mosque also offers an impressive sight. For fresh seafood and local delicacies, the evening Filipino Market is highly recommended. The dry season from March to October is ideal for making the most of the islands and inland excursions.

This region is the gateway to some of the world's finest diving and snorkeling sites, including the legendary island of Sipadan, enticing visitors with crystal-clear waters and pristine coral reefs.

This world-renowned center offers the unique opportunity to observe orphaned and injured orangutans up close and learn more about their conservation efforts.
