Selamat Datang

Sabah, negeri yang kedua terbesar di Malaysia, terletak di utara pulau Borneo, pulau ketiga terbesar di dunia. Sabah meliputi kawasan seluas 72,500 kilometer persegi dengan pantai sepanjang 14,400 kilometer dengan Laut Cina Selatan terletak di pantai barat, Laut Sulu di sebelah timur laut dan Laut Celebes di sebelah selatan.

Dengan gelaran "Negeri Di Bawah Angin [iaitu Bayu]" , Sabah tidak sahaja kaya dengan keindahan semulajadi tetapi ia juga kaya dengan warisan budaya penduduknya.

Sabah adalah kaya dengan berbagai-bagai jenis tumbuhan. Bunga terbesar di dunia Rafflesia dengan kuntumnya berukuran tiga meter garis pusat ditemui di Sabah.Banyak spesies anggerik/ orkid, periok kera dan rhododendron yang didapati tumbuh di Sabah.

Sabah adalah satu kawasan berbukit bukau. Kawasannya yang bergunung-ganang disilangi dengan sungai-sungai yang mengalir melalui lembah-lembah menerusi dataran tanah yang subur. Banyak gua ditemui di hutan-hutannya. Gunung Kinabalu yang tertinggi di Asia Tenggara tersergam indah dengan ketinggian 4,101 meter. Hutannya yang subur menghijau menjadi tempat lindungan bagi hidupan liar seperti badak sumbu Sumatra, orang utan, gajah, pelanduk, monyet, tupai terbang, rusa dan burung.

Sabah juga dirahmati dengan penduduk berbilang kaum. Masyarakat aslinya terdiri daripada sekurang-kurangnya 30 kumpulan menggunakan lebih daripada 50 bahasa dan tidak kurang daripada 80 dialek.

Kumpulan etnik yang utama adalah: Kadazandusun (merupakan satu pertiga dari jumlah penduduk Sabah), Murut, Paitan, dan Bajau. Kumpulan penduduk asli yang lain termasuk Bonggi, Iranun, Ida'an dan Brunei. Sebagai tambahan, kaum Cina merupakan kumpulan penduduk bukan asli yang terbesar. Dengan itu, Sabah adalah kaya dengan penduduk berbagai-bagai kaum dengan latarbelakang kebudayaan masing-masing.

Berdasarkan kepada jumpaan arkeologi, Sabah telah diduduki oleh penghuni sekurang-kurangnya 28,000 tahun yang lalu. Islam sampai di Sabah menjelang akhir abad ke-5 dan ke-16 melalui pedagang Arab dan India dan juga hasil dari pengembangan kerajaan Kesultanan Melayu Brunei. Orang-orang Eropah datang ke Sabah dua abad kemudiannya. Dalam 1775, Syarikat Hindia-Timur British membuka tempat perdagangan di Pulau Balembangan. Bagaimanapun, Sabah telah ditadbir dengan jayanya oleh Syarikat Berpiagam Borneo Utara British dari 1881 hingga 1942 apabila tentera Jepun menduduki negeri ini. Selepas kehancuran akibat peperangan, Sabah jadi jajahan British sehingga 31 Ogos 1963 apabila ia mencapai pemerintahan sendiri dari pihak British. Pada 16 September 1963, Sabah bersama Sarawak, Singapura dan Tanah Melayu menjadi Persekutuan Malaysia.

Sabah Transportation Services

Getting around in Sabah is easy. Depending on the destinations that you wish to visit, different modes of transport are available such as:-

CAR RENTALS

Car rentals are easily available in Kota Kinabalu City, and in major towns. The best point to hire a car is from Kota Kinabalu. Types of vehicles available range broadly from basic sub compact sedans to vans and coaches depending on your travel needs. To find out more on car rentals rates and availability, click here.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT

There are two types of public transport. One is the 'normal short distance' within the city or town limits and the other is the 'long distance' with taxis and busses/coaches. To travel by public transport is the most economical way to get to your destination in Sabah. The journey might take longer than by private transport, but you will be compensated by the scenic surrounding environment on the journey, and by the fact that you can mingle with the locals. To find out more about long distance taxi and bus stations in major towns and in the city, please click on the following links. You will be taken to a city map of the town, from where you can look up the taxi and bus stations in the legend section of the map. PDF maps can be downloaded if you wish to have a detailed map of the city and towns below.

RAILWAY

There is only one railway which connects Kota Kinabalu with Tenom on the west coast of Sabah. As a matter of fact, it is the only railway in the whole of Borneo! Train services are still very basic in Sabah and are still confined to trains that were in service since the colonial period. This gives travellers an additional touch of nostalgia when taking the West Coast tours of Sabah, where you could stop by small towns and enjoy the scenic environment at your own pace. The towns along the west coast, like Membakut, Papar, Bongawan, Beaufort and Tenom, have retained much of their rural charm ever since the colonial period. The journey by train from Kota Kinabalu to Tenom takes between five and six hours. There are two daily departures.

The route from Beaufort to Tenom is especially exciting as the train travels through a tunnel of forests and along the Padas Gorge cutting through the Crocker Range. This is a standard journey for travellers taking the white water rafting adventure tour on the Padas River. Let yourself be inspired by that journey and read our feature.

The ultimate nostalgic train experience is the North Borneo Railway, which has recently been revamped and now operates a 90-ton Mid-Century steam train: "The Vulcan" takes now again visitors along the west from Kota Kinabalu to Papar, and back. This train, which leaves on schedule every Wednesday and Saturday, is very popular amongst tourists, so please be sure to make early reservations.

BOATS AND FERRIES

Island destinations such as Tunku Abdul Rahman Park (TAR), Turtle Island Park, Sipadan, Langkayan, Kapalai, Mabul, Pulau Tiga, and Labuan are accessible by ferry services. To find out more please click on the maps above for exact location of the ferry terminals. Some destinations require pre arrangements for ferry services. This includes islands such as Pulau Tiga (from Kuala Penyu), Turtle Islands from Sandakan Town, Mengalum and Mantanani. Layang-Layang Island is only accessible via air. Labuan Island is also accessible by ferry from Kota Kinabalu city and from Menumbok town near Kuala Penyu and the Klias region. From Kota Kinabalu, there are two ferry departures to Labuan daily. The journey takes 3 hrs and costs around US$10 for a return trip.

Ferries to TAR leave from the newly upgraded Kota Kinabalu City Ferry Terminal near the Sabah Ports Authority and the Marine Police Jetty. There is no schedule and you can hop on and off anytime you like. Fares ranges from US$2.50 to US$4.00 per person and you can bargain. At the City Ferry Terminal you have to pay a port tax. Ferry operators will be happy to assist you, but please ensure that you only board licensed boats with proper insurance, and make sure you wear a life vest as it is required by the Marine Department (licensed boat operators have life vests and will require that you wear them). The exact location of the ferry terminal is B1 on the KK City Map.

For seafarers and sailors, there are marinas available around Sabah. The most prestigious is the Sutera Harbour Marina, located in the Sutera Harbour Resort complex in the south of the city. Other places to berth at Kota Kinabalu include the Tanjung Aru Marina, located at the Shangri-la Tanjung Aru Resort, and the Kota Kinabalu Yacht Club. Many sailors just berth in front of the city near the Waterfront Esplanade.

More marinas around Sabah: Sandakan: Sandakan Yacht Club; Tawau: Tawau Yacht Club; Kudat: Kudat Marina & Golf Club. Labuan Island has another world class marina at the Labuan Waterfront Hotel. For major repairs, three boat yards are available in Kuala Penyu, Labuan and Kudat.

Most major towns in Sabah have airports for domestic travel. Heli-charter is available from Sabah Air in Kota Kinabalu to some destinations on the islands, and also to Kundasang at the foot of Mt Kinabalu. Helicopter sightseeing is getting more popular, and are reasonably priced. The Layang-Layang Island is only accessible by air. Planes to this haven for divers depart from the Old Airport Terminal, much like the direct flights to Mulu National Park in Sarawak. Please refer to the Kota Kinabalu city map for exact location of the old airport.

White-water rafting has taken off in Sabah and it is very popular with visitors to the state. There are four beautiful rivers in Sabah where white-water rafting and canoeing can be done. Each of these rivers run along valleys which are rich with vegetation atypical of Sabah. Arguably, Sabah is probably the best venue for white-water rafting in the region.

The Padas River located near Tenom is very fast and should only be attempted by serious rafters. It is really exciting river in its upper stretches and the ride down river is guaranteed to give hours of nerve-tingling excitement.

Kedamaian River literally means a river of peace and tranquility in the local language. In the dry season, between the months of February and July when the waters are low, Kedamaian winds very gently down a narrow course and it is peaceful and calm. During these months, a quiet picnic along the river would just be the ideal break.

From August to January comes the months of rain which fills the river to overflowing. It is during this time that a trip down the river in a raft can be anything from a reasonably fast ride to an exhilarating one of untold fun and excitement.

Mulau River is an easy and pleasant river to raft and it is ideal for beginners. It is located in a beautiful valley in Kiulu where the local villages are neatly spaced and time seems to be of little consequence to the local populace.

Papar River is perhaps the best river for rafting in Sabah. It has much of a rustic setting where the trees and the rocks and the birds all blend together to provide a picture of tranquility and harmony. Coasting through the rapids in the jungle setting, visitors will be given a taste of what the state has to offer in so many special ways.

Those who have experienced white-water rafting usually lasting some two to four hours maintain that the rivers in Sabah are easily the best in the region. The trips are relatively safe even amidst turbulent waters as rafters are equipped with life jackets and helmets. A rafting trip is strongly recommended for those who want to have an adventure and some excitement in their holidays in Sabah.

The areas around the four rivers are among the most scenic spots in the whole of Sabah. After rafting, take time off for a picnic along the rivers. It will refresh you fully.

Useful Tips

Where is the Padas River?
It is located between Tenom and Beaufort and is only accessible by train. The train ride is in itself an experience. The scenery is breath taking.

The amateur cavers or the serious speleologists, may not find the caves in Sabah quite comparable in size to those in neighbouring Sarawak, but they can just be as interesting.

For those who do not mind an exhausting and often dangerous climb up near vertical limestone cliffs, the foray up such surfaces which are often the exterior of these caves can be extremely rewarding. The plant life on the way up and the views from the top are absolutely breathtaking.

Guomantong Caves

This is the most famous cave in Sabah because of the large amounts of quality bird's nests collected. Many people have heard of the cave but few can actually provide clear directions to it, including residents of Sandakan.

The journey to Guomantong is quite a rough trip and it should not be attempted during the rainy months from September to December. It is a three hour journey by road from Sandakan and it branches off to Sukau along the Sandakan-Lahad Datu road. Alternatively, a boat journey can be taken. From the road to Sukau, there is a side-road turning right which takes the visitor across a very interesting forest reserve.

Only four-wheel-drive vehicles should be used for this stretch of road. For the observant visitor, the jungles here contain a wealth of wildlife, which include hornbills, eagles, pheasants, deers, wild-pigs, monkeys and a wide range of plant life.

The way into the cave cuts across the side of a tree-covered limestone hill and there is a sense of expectancy as one draws near to the cave. A long attap house and trees are framed against the dark mouth of the cave and it is a spectacular sight to see the huge opening of the cave with its rock formations suddenly bursting into view. The cave is a large one and the adventurous visitor can explore the different inner caves connected to it.

There are run-down huts located in the vicinity of the caves for those who would like to rough it out for one or two nights. Guomantong should only be visited by those who do not mind foregoing comfort.

How to get there?

Fly to Sandakan. In Kota Kinabalu, arrangements can be made with the local tour companies (e.g. Discovery Tours) to visit the caves. Alternatively, enquiries can be directed to the Sabah Forestry Department, or the Sabah Parks office in Sandakan. Accommodation will have to be in Sandakan but those who can rough it out can camp at Guomantong or stay in the deserted huts there. It is recommended that for overnight trips to Guomantong, groups of more than five persons should be arranged. If an overnight stay is to be made, the following items should be brought along:
change of clothes
towel
first-aid kit
good pair of rubber shoes
spare pair of rubber shoes (most important)
spare socks
food (bearing in mind that there are no cooking facilities)
plenty of drinks
enough INSECT REPELLENT (important!)
fresh water for washing up

The Madai Caves comprise a wide network of caves and passages and it is a venue worth visiting because of its accessibilty. It is only a short distance from the Tawau - Lahad Datu highway. There is a labyrinth of cave passages that can be followed and an underground stream which adds to the fascination as visitors move through cave formations that echo the timelessness of nature.

In moving through the caves, it is better for visitors to be guided. The droppings of bats and swallows over the centuries have formed a permanent carpet of lush, soft areas which can be thigh deep at places.

Watch out for such spots. Many of the workers who collect birds' nest will be happy to provide direction or personally guide visitors for a small fee.

The activity of collecting birds' nest which is a delicacy among the Chinese, is an intriguing sight. Some of the ladders constructed of bamboos and rattan can extend up to great heights but the workers deftly move up such ladders with ease.

For the adventurous, climbing up to the lower peaks of the Madai hills is a must. Although the climb is nearly vertical in stages, the many footholds among the limestone outcrop help make the climb much easier.

It is certainly not a climb to be attempted by the faint-hearted. The exhilaration at the top is hard to describe and the view over the Kunak plains stretching right out to the sea is excellent.

How to Get There

Fly to Tawau. From Tawau, you can hire a taxi or rent a car for a day to the caves or arrangements can be made with the hotels or tour companies.

Accommodation will have to be in Tawau or Kunak town. If hill climbing is on your plan, please bring the following:- change of clothes, first-aid, gloves, good pair of rubber shoes, food, plenty of drinks. Remember, if you visit the Madai caves, visit also the Madai Waterfalls which is along the Tawau-Lahad Datu main road. It is an excellent spot for a picnic.

This is a difficult cave to reach but one that is extremely interesting for the more adventurous who are keen to visit the heart of Borneo to see Sabah's exciting interior.

The journey to Sapulut from Kota Kinabalu cuts across cool hills, scenic padi fields, quaint villages and fascinating jungle tracts and it takes five to six hours to reach the small village of Sapulut.

The journey up-river which takes two and a half hours during the wet season and four to five hours during the dry season cuts across massive timber bridges, rapids with treacherous currents and river banks with some of the most diverse fauna and flora that can be seen in Sabah.

The boat is often somewhat unsteady, and there will be many moments when you are sure that the boat will capsize. After a long ride, the long-house of the family of Lantir and Antagu is finally reached. This will be the venue for the night. A taste of Murut culture and life-style is found here and visitors will be fascinated by the way the villagers live and the hospitality shown.

Get ready to drink the local rice wine - "tapai" - straight from the jar as you spend the night here. There will be moments of revelry as visitors are invited to participate in the local dances.

Early the next morning, the boat-trip to Batu Punggul from the long-house is made. As the boat proceeds further up the river into largely uninhabited jungles near the Indonesian border, a white limestone outcrop suddenly comes into view. It is an enthralling sight.

A short distance ahead is Batu Punggul. A strenous climb is made to reach the caves. The caves are not different from the others and there are a few linked caves which can be explored.

The real attraction of Batu Punggul is the climb up the sheer rock face, not recommended for those who are afraid of heights. It can be dangerous.

The climb is 90 degrees vertical in some places but the limestone handholds are a great help. The view from the top is well worth the absorbing climb. Leeches are sometimes encountered in Batu Punggul but they are easily taken care of with a pinch of salt or some tobacco.

How to Get There

From Kota Kinabalu arrangements can be made with a local tour company to handle the entire trip. Alternatively, visitors can hire a four-wheel drive vehicle for the trip. The journey is from Kota Kinabalu to Keningau and from Keningau to Sapulut.

The following items are recommended for the trip: change of clothes, towel, first-aid kit, gloves, good pair of rubber shoes, spare socks, plenty of drinks, snacks and sweets, enough insect repellent and a packet of salt for the leeches.

Introduction

The Danum Valley Field Centre provides facilities for research, education and wilderness recreation in one of the Sabah's last strongholds of undisturbed lowland rain forest - the 438 sq. km. Danum Valley Conservation Area.

Sited beside the Segama River, the Centre is located 81 km west of Lahad Datu and more than 20 km from any other habitation - a truly remote setting. Research efforts have revealed a tremendous variety of plants and the full range of Sabah's lowland fauna, including such rare and endangered species as Sumatran rhino, banteng (tembadau), elephant, clouded leopard, orang utan and proboscis monkey. Bird life is equally varied with some 275 species recorded to date in the area.

Accommodation and Meals

The Field Centre is run by the Sabah Foundation (Yayasan Sabah) under the aegis of a Management Committee which also includes the Sabah Forestry Department, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia - Sabah campus, the Sabah Ministry of Tourism and Environmental Development and six other agencies with interests in forest research and conservation.

The Centre is run principally for use by scientists and participants in organised courses and seminars. Local visitors and students are still accepted, but other visitors are now accommodated at the Centre's sister facility, Borneo Rainforest Lodge, details of which can be obtained from the Kota Kinabalu (Tel: 088-243245; Fax: 088-254227) or Lahad Datu (Tel: 089-885051; Fax: 011-883867) booking offices. Otherwise only official visitors to ICSB's Forestry Division are permitted to stay at the Field Centre.

Visitors must book their visit to the Field Centre either at Innoprise Corporation Sdn. Bhd. office at Sadong Jaya, Kota Kinabalu (Tel: 088-243251; Fax: 088-243244), or through the Regional Office in Lahad Datu (Tel: 089-881092/881688; Fax: 089-883091).

Accommodation is available in two VIP rooms, a five-bedroom resthouse and a 30-bed hostel. The VIP and resthouse rooms have two or three beds each and attached bathrooms. Bedding and towels are provided. A nearby campground is also available with water and electricity provided.
VIP rooms, resthouse and hostel guests are provided with full baord. Meals are served at approximately the following times:
Breakfast 6:45 - 7:30 a.m. Lunch 12:00 noon
Afternoon Tea 4:30 - 5:30 p.m. Dinner 7:15 p.m.

Bungalow accommodation with self-catering facilities is available for long-term researchers.

Accommodation rates are per bed. Requests for singe occupancy will be met when possible, but cannot be guaranteed.
Monthly rates for accommodation and food are 20 times the daily rates.
All bills must be settled in cash before departure with the Reception Centre clerk. An invoice and receipt will be issued.

How to Get There

The nearest town to the Field Centre is Lahad Datu, which is served daily by Malaysia Airlines. Visitors coming from Kota Kinabalu should book a morning flight on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday. On these days a vehicle comes to town in the morning with departing visitors, does the shopping and then returns to the Filed Centre in the afternoon. If a clearly marked vehicle is not at the airport, walk 300 metres to the Regional Office at MDLD 3286/3287, Block 3, of the Fajar Centre. The drive from Lahad Datu to Danum Valley Field Centre takes approximately two hours. If your itinerary does not coincide with the three regular trips each weeks, a special charge may be levied. Otherwise you can request our Lahad Datu office to arrange to hire a mini-bus for about the same price.

If you drive your own vehicle, you must first obtain an access permit from the Lahad Datu office. The permit must be produced at the check point at km 5.5 on the Main Line West logging road. Follow this road to Taliwas at km 21 where there is a sign-posted left turn to the Field Centre 45 km onwards. Be warned that the road is used by 70-ton logging trucks, so drive slowly and carefully. Note that firearms and hunting are absolutely forbidden anywhere in the Conservation Area or access roads to it.

On arrival at the Centre, all visitors must register in the Reception Centre - or after office hours in the resthouse.
