Sarawak is an exciting destination for any visitor with an adventurous palate, exploring mind, love for tribal artefacts, or just a longing for a "different kind of experience". The diversity of flora and fauna in Sarawak provides great opportunities for wildlife exploration.
Sarawak has a long history with the first Stone Age man traced some 40,000 years ago in the Great Niah Caves. Traders between China, India and neighbouring countries came here to exchange their goods with animal and jungle products. Today, traders are replaced with tourists.
Popularly known as the "Land of The Hornbills", Sarawak has a warm climate and like its neighbouring state Sabah, has a potpourri of tour programs that reflect diverse customs and beliefs.
