Sarawak (Borneo)
Sarawak, in the north-western part of Borneo,
has a very diverse ethnic mix including
the native Iban people, Chinese and Malay
as well as many other minority groups. To
understand more about these cultures visit
the Sarawak Cultural Village surrounded by
forests and mountains to discover the arts,
foods, music and dance of the region.
There are many opportunities to look for
wildlife in Sarawak. Visit the Bako National
Park where commonly spotted animals include proboscis monkeys, silver leaf
monkeys, long-tailed macaques, wild boars,
monitor lizards and numerous species
of birds.
Also Visit Semenggoh Wildlife Centre, an

the wild. Learn about the work here and
take a walk to the feeding area to watch
the orang-utans come down from the
trees to eat.
