As we were staying in Kundasang we had some time to look around, our first stop was the famous Kundasang War Memorial, which to quote: Established in 1962, this was one of the first memorials to commemorate the brave Australian and British Prisoners of War who died in Sandakan and during the infamous death marches [...]

So our guide let us know of a semi-wild Orangutan named Jackie that lived somewhere in Kinabalu park. Most of the time she stayed in the jungle, but she did enjoy human contact and came out now and then to see who was around. Our guide was friendly with the people who stayed around the [...]

After the Sandakan Town Tour we headed to the airport and flew over to KK. Shortly after landing we headed on over to the Monsopiad Cultural Village, which was an interesting experience to say the least. They say you haven’t seen Sabah if you haven’t been to the Monsopiad village! We arrived just in time [...]

So after our trip to the picturesque Puu Jih Shih Temple in Sandakan we checked out the rest of the town. We visited a church which is part of the heritage trail called St. Michael’s and All Angels Church. A quaint little church finished in the early 1900s, it reminds of those little village churches [...]

It’s been a while since my last post about Sepilok Orang Utan Sanctuary — Sabah, Malaysia, and I’ve got some other travel stuff coming up so I better finish this series off! We headed off to Sandakan after that and had lunch at the Ocean King Seafood restaurant, despite it being touted as a tourist [...]

It’s been a while since my last Sabah post (Sepilok Jungle Resort – Checking in And Relaxing & Review), but seen as though I went recently it’s spurned me to continue. Sepilok Orang Utan Sanctuary is somewhere everyone should visit at some point in their life, people come from all over the World to see [...]

So we arrived at Sepilok Jungle Resort in the middle of the afternoon, we had some time to relax. We took dinner at the restaurant inhouse – it was actually pretty good and quite cheap. I love this fern they serve there, they call it Sabah Vege (Sayur Manis) – delicious! Anyway we had some [...]

So after our previous day in Labuk Bay Resort we got up early for breakfast and glorious sunshine. Yeah it was real hot! Feeding time was around 11am, we already had plenty of pictures though so we just enjoyed the natural habitat. The turn-out wasn’t as good as the previous day anyway (it wasn’t that [...]

So after a short rest from morning feeding (time to copy the pictures to my Nexto PSD) it was off out to another location for lunch. We headed out in the muddy yet reliable truck, you can see the storm in the distance that we drove into.. The place we had lunch was really in [...]

So we arrived in Sabah to rain sadly, we got there quite early in the morning direct to Sandakan from KL and were picked up promptly by our first guide Adam – a very knowledgeable local tribal guy from the Sandakan area (I forget which tribe he was from, but he said they were river [...]
