Sabah, Malaysia Malaysia

For an ecological experience you simply cannot beat watching young terapins hatching and scampering towards the sea and taking their tiny places in the world. Priceless!

Sabah is the rugged frontier of fast forwarding Malaysia, but therein lies it’s attraction, for even if Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Malacca can provide a veneer of manicured and efficient facilities, Sabah provides a taste of the primeval where the natural landscape crowned by majestic Mt Kinabalu takes pride of place

The aboriginal peoples of Sabah are those who because they only joined the Malay federation in 1963 have been able to hold onto their traditions even though headhunting which was prominent until after the 2nd World War is no longer part of their custom.

The Turtle Islands national park are three small islands roped off from development, you are able to visit even though it has been given over for the convenience of the turtles primarily. Very commendable

The waters around Palau Sipadan are seas that Jacques Cousteau would have relished and indeed snorkeling around these waters are all potentially part of a tour around Sabah
