Travelogue

Move over, "Big Five." Sabah’s rainforests hold a hidden world of "Small Wonders" that are quietly reshaping nature travel. From the brilliant national Rajah Brooke’s Birdwing to the hyper-endemic Kinabalu Birdwing, Borneo's spectacular insect orders offer an untapped paradise for macro-photographers and eco-tourists alike. Fresh off the landmark workshop at the Rainforest Discovery Centre in Sepilok, we explore why looking closer at the forest floor is the next big frontier for wildlife tourism and conservation.

Discover the meaning of Gawai Dayak in Sarawak, including longhouse traditions, ngabang culture, tuak, food, and modern harvest festival celebrations.
