Kota Kinabalu, Borneo, Malaysia


We flew Air Asia to Kota Kinabalu from Macau. It takes us 1 hour from Shekou, Shenzhen, China to the Island of Macau. We then drove up to the Rasa Ria Shangri La Beach Resort and did little for 6 days. The highlights were the Orangutangs in the Nature Reserve next to the resort, the Mt Bike ride where I surprised a Barking Deer, the sailing and the resort it's self. It is one of the best resorts we have been to. The staff were absolutley fantastic. The food was fabulous and the garden/seaview room with large balcony was very very nice.






View from our room. The resort has 3km of private beach.


Driving range.

River cruise. Crab fishing.

Riverside real estate!



These guys spend hours bathing in the salt water river.

These little darlings were so cute. They are being repatriated to the wild and come to this reserve by the resort which is a transition station until they are old enough to go across the Island to a larger santuary. We could see them from our room also!
