Just west of KK, the five islands of Manukan, Gaya, Sapi, Mamutik and Sulug and the reefs in between make up TAR National Park, which covers a total area of just over 49 sq km. Only a short boat ride from the city centre, they have some nice beaches and t

Unfortunately, much of the coral around the islands has been destroyed by dynamite fishing, and experienced divers and snorkellers are likely to be disappointed. There are still plenty of colourful fish, however, and if you’ve had few opportunities for tr

Tuaran, 33km from KK, is a bustling little town with tree-lined boulevard-style streets and a distinctive nine-storey Chinese pagoda. There’s little point stopping in the town itself unless you happen to pass through on market day, but the surrounding are

Mengkabong Water Village, a Bajau stilt village built over an estuary, was once a very picturesque spot, though it’s not very special now.

Nestled in a cool, cloud-shrouded valley at the end of the railway line from KK, Tenom is the home of the friendly Murut people, most of whom are farmers. It’s a fertile area known for its coffee, which is widely sold, and soya beans, maize, vegetables an

WorldTravelDB.com — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 08:01:38 +0000

Nestled among the green curves of the Crocker hills, Tambunan, a small agricultural service town about 81km from KK, is the first settlement you’ll come to in the range. The region was the last stronghold of Mat Salleh, who became a folk hero for rebellin

Sungai Kinabatangan Malaysian Borneo Sabah

WorldTravelDB.com — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 08:01:40 +0000

Proclaimed somewhat grandly as Malaysia’s ‘Gift to Earth’, the mighty, muddy Sungai Kinabatangan is Sabah’s longest river, measuring 560km from its headwaters in the southwest to the point where it empties into the Sulu Sea. Logging and clearing for plan

The number one reason to come here is the wildlife, and the Kinabatangan is almost invariably a highlight of any nature-nutter’s trip to Sabah. Mammals can be seen at any time of year. Most bird activity happens in the wet season (October to March), but c

Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre Malaysian Borneo Sabah

WorldTravelDB.com — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 08:01:43 +0000

One of only four orangutan sanctuaries in the world, the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre (SORC) occupies a corner of the Kabili-Sepilok rainforest reserve about 25km north of Sandakan. The centre was established in 1964; it now covers 40 sq km and

The centre has arguably suffered from its own success, and at busy times more than 700 visitors per day can flood the centre, with camera-clicking tourists far outnumbering the poor primates. More seriously, constant contact with humans has exposed the or

Semporna And Pulau Sipadan Malaysian Borneo Sabah

WorldTravelDB.com — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 08:01:44 +0000

Though not a particularly appealing town, Semporna does have a lively waterfront market and a mosque attractively framed against the waters of the Celebes Sea.

Most of Semporna’s visitors are en route to/from Pulau Sipadan, a small island 36km offshore that’s regarded as one of the world’s best dive sites. Divers take exhilarating plunges off a 600m limestone wall, while snorkellers can expect to have sea turtle

Sandakan Malaysian Borneo Sabah

WorldTravelDB.com — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 08:01:45 +0000

Sandakan is a busy commercial centre at the entrance to a beautiful, island-studded bay. Most activity centres on the docks and wharves that sprawl along the waterfront. Barges, ferries and motorboats of every description buzz around, unloading fish and o

Sandakan has character and even a certain downmarket charm, though once the shop shutters come down at night the centre can feel disconcertingly deserted. The real attractions lie outside town, but there’s excellent seafood to enjoy and beautiful views fr

Ranau Malaysian Borneo Sabah

WorldTravelDB.com — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 08:01:46 +0000

Ranau is a collection of concrete shop blocks on the road between KK and Sandakan, or Kinabalu National Park and Poring Hot Springs. There’s a busy Saturday tamu (night market). Otherwise, it’s of interest mainly as a transport junction.

Bank Simpanan Nasional (Jl Kibarambang) has an ATM.
