Borneo Malaysia Travel Pictures, Tips, Information
Sabah, Sarawak, Land Below the Wind, Hornbills 
Borneo I came here almost on a whim because I liked the name Kota Kinabalu from the first time I heard it, even though I had no idea KK was on the island of Borneo! See travel in Borneo tips page; Browse or Book Hotels in Kota Kinabalu.
Sabah and Sarawak: When I traveled to the Borneo Malaysia states, here's what I saw:
- Borneo rainforest plants,
- Orangutans at Sepilok,
- Turtle Island and Libaran island,
- Poring Hot Springs
- Mt Kinabalu (I stayed at the Kinabalu Mountain Lodge)
- Sarawak's Gunung Mulu Park bat caves,
- a river boat ride to a native village
My trip to Borneo is one of the best trips I've ever taken!
Kota Kinabalu is the capital of Sabah, one of the Federated States of Malaysia, and located on the island of Borneo. In Bahasa Malay, Sabah means 'The land below the wind". The winds that bring typhoons to the Philippines and Hong Kong don't reach this far south
Sarawak, the other Federated Malay state on Borneo, is known as the Land of the Hornbills, chiefly for the Rhinoceros Hornbills (this picture shows the carved wood hornbill souvenir I bought at the Royal Mulu resort in Sarawak) that are native to Sarawak. While I didn't see a hornbill in Sarawak, I did see one and take its picture at the Nanning Zoo in China.)
