Places to visit in Sabah

Sabah is islands, mountains and wildlife: island hopping in Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, the climb up Mount Kinabalu and orangutans at Sepilok. Kundasang has cool mornings with dairy cows and Kinabalu views, and Semporna is the jump-off for diving at Sipadan and Mabul. Fly from KL into Kota Kinabalu, about two and a half hours, for the west coast, or into Sandakan or Tawau for the east.
