Would you like to befriend an orang-utan? Learn to use a blowpipe? Or maybe get married in a traditional tribal ceremony? You could do it all in one day in Sarawak. Perched on the northwestern edge of the exotic island of Borneo, Sarawak is laterally quite unlike any other place on earth.
Start your holiday by spending a day or two in the capital-Kuching. Here the Sarawak Tourist Association (STA), or the Visitors Information Centre (which also houses the National Park and Wildlife Booking Office) will provide you with all the brochures and advice you need to plan your stay.
You'll find an astonishing variety of things to tempt you. Wonders of the natural world. A rich and fascinating history. A patchwork quilt of more than thirty different ethnics groups. And also long, sandy beaches for water sports or more traditional beach holidays.
Despite being home to the world's oldest rainforest, travel around Sarawak is easy. Tourist are welcome everywhere and the people are all very friendly. English is widely spoken although the national language is Malay. So, SELAMAT DATANG (Welcome)
There's a chance to see and do something different-something beyond the normal tourist sight and pursuits. Experience the tranquility of being one with nature in all it's glory. The owesome splendour of virgin rainforest, beneath the cool shady canopy of trees hundred years old, one come realise the "conservation" is not a mere concept but a way of life-that " bio-diversity " is here to stay.
Malaysia's forest are indisputably the oldest in the world and its National Parks are treasure troves of its rich natural heritage. The various species of flora and fauna found within its realms can be describes in superlatives. It is with a view to preserving this invaluable natural heritage for posterity that the National Parks were established, some as early as the first half of this century.
The seas surrounding some of islands abound with a variety of fascinating marine treasure-rare, beautiful and extremely delicate. In order to prevent these extremely fragile marine ecosystems from destruction, areas supporting rich and exotic marine life have been gazetted as Marine Parks. The delicate corals, colorful fishes and turtles in danger of extinction are thus assured of safe haven within these parks.
