Sabahan 5 Days/4 Nights
Once known as British North Borneo, Sabah reassumed its former name upon independence
in 1963. With a land area of 30,000 square miles, Sabah is
known for its white sandy beaches, clear water, spectacular
coral reefs, beautiful mountain parks, abundance of wildlife and the highest mountain in
Southeast Asia, Mt. Kinabalu. The Kadazandusun form the
largest indigenous group and tend to occupy the interior. Other
ethnic groups include the Bajau, Murut, Rungus, Malays, Bisayuhs,
and Chinese.
