Malaysia Holidays
Synonymous with the mystery of the Far East, Malaysia still conjures visions of rubber trees, sultans, jungles, pirates, headhunters and exotic beaches. However there is a lot more to the country than first meets the eye and it manages to entice travellers from afar to sample its delights on offer.
Lying between Singapore to the south and Thailand to the north, the Malaysian peninsula area divides between a pulsating and affluent west and a more leisurely east, speckled with wonderful remote beaches. Tourism is still developing and the hustle and bustle mainly stays in the larger cities of Kuala Lumpur and Singapore where accommodation choices are varied compared to the smaller areas where it can be restricted.
Four hundred miles further across the sea lies the island of Borneo, where the two states of Sarawak and Sabah sandwich Brunei between them. Here offers the opportunity to walk in the islands deep, lush rainforest, visit the established Sepilok orangutan Rehabilitation Centre and sanctuary, paddle up overhung meandering rivers, lie on pristine unoccupied beaches, dive or, for the adventurous, climb Mount Kinabalu, Borneo’s highest mountain, the possibilities on offer are almost endless.
Malaysia is a uniquely delightful country in the Far East and offers adventure, impeccable wildlife, along with modern world charm in the larger cities, allowing something for most every type of traveller.
