Top 10 – Must Visit Places In Sabah

By Max Tan

10. Sipadan Island

As an ancient volcano rising 600m from the ocean floor, Sipadan is Malaysia’s only oceanic island. This means that the island is bordered by deep seas and wall reefs, which are home to some of the world’s largest Ocean Pelagics, including white, black, and grey tipped Sharks, Trevallies, Chevron, and Yellowfin Barracudas.

6. Lok Kawi Wildlife Park

The Lok Kawi Wildlife Park is about 25 km from Kota Kinabalu, on the ancient Penampang-Papar route. The park’s major goal is to establish a family-friendly environment with a focus on making it more of a children’s zoo. Borneo Pygmy elephants, Sumatran rhinoceros, Orang Utan, Proboscis monkey, Malayan Tiger, and a few kinds of deers are among the zoo’s numerous occupants.
