The two Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak make up roughly the northern third of the island, the rest being part of Indonesia. Comprised of dense rain forest, unique fauna and flora, white sandy beaches and remote islands the regions are mainly known for their versatile landscapes and wildlife species, including the wonderful and rare orangutans, proboscis monkeys and pygmy elephants.
As well as exploring some of the best wildlife spotting locations in Southeast Asia visitors can also include an interesting cultural aspect in their trip, as the regions are both home to many different ethnic groups.
