"Spirited Sabah" State of Sabah by ayesh

State of Sabah Travel Guide: 2,641 reviews and 6,637 photos

Wild apes, beautiful pelagics, fire flies, stick insects, thousands of swiflets, active macaques, coconut crabs, turtles, cicadas.... the´re all there. And that´s ´just´ the wild life that you can find in this amazing pumping green heart of Malaysia. Sabah has it all and more. The people smile. Not because they want to sell, but because they probably think you look funny, haha. They´re wonderful, want to help and really enjoy it when you try to speak Bahasa Melayu.
Sabah stole my heart. It has the most wonderful treasures man can find: mysterious, awe-inspiring nature!

Pros and Cons

Pros:Wonderful people in a overwhelming natural environment!
Cons:I would like to stay here for a long time... and spend days and nights in the jungle...
In a nutshell:Green, hot, wild animals, real jungle, lovely rivers, cool hights...

Last visit to State of Sabah: Apr 2003

What an amazing place. Your photos are outstanding; as I wandered into your Visualizations travelogues, I felt like I had entered an art gallery.

Sleeping on the water, headhunter/part-time tourist guide, Dutch-man primates, gigantic flowers, gazillions of bugs! So many fantastic adventures all rolled into one. Are you aspiring to be Indiana Jones :) Amazing photos, the cave one blew me away.
