Sabah Discovery

Itinerary

Day 1 Kota Kinabalu

Flanked by sea and jungle, Sabah's capital is a great base for exploring the region's tropical beauty. Why not begin the adventure with a visit to the Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park where untouched jungle, white beaches and exotic marine life await?

Days 2-3 Kinabatangan Jungle Camp/Homestay

Trek into Sabah's lush interior to learn about forest restoration - keep an eye out for flying foxes, bearded boars and the funny faces of proboscis monkeys. Spend a memorable night lulled to sleep by the sounds of nocturnal creatures. Then head to a traditional Malay village as a privileged guest at an overnight homestay.

Day 4 Sepilok Orangutan Reserve

Get up-close to some primate relatives at Sepilok, where orphaned and injured orangutans are rehabilitated and returned to forest life. There's time here to stretch those legs on one of many walking trails into the forest or head into thriving Sandakan for some excellent seafood and a waterfront sunset.

Days 5-7 Mt Kinabalu

The highlight of Sabah could well be the trek to its highest point, Mt Kinabalu's peak. The mountain is a botanical paradise with many unique plants and flowers dotting the landscape, including the carnivorous pitcher plant and over 1,000 species of orchid. At certain times of year, the rare rafflesia flower might also be found - it's generally smelled before its seen.

Days 8-10 Kota Kinabalu

Enjoy a well-earned rest at the seaside guesthouse in Kinarut. Plunge into the warm waters in the national park to view the colourful marine life, before returning to relax by the pool or catch a cab to Kota Kinabalu for some shopping. It's the perfect end to a Sabah adventure.
