Mari Mari Cultural Village, Sabah

A living cultural experience outside Kota Kinabalu where trained guides from Sabah's five indigenous groups — the Kadazan-Dusun, Bajau, Lundayeh, Murut, and Rungus — demonstrate traditional food preparation, tattooing, fire-starting, and music in authentic reconstructed village environments. The bamboo-steamed rice and fresh toddy palm wine make this a sensory as much as a cultural experience.
