SABAH TOURS

Last Train of Borneo

Tour Code: KK10

Duration - 2 days/1 night

This tour takes you to Beaufort, by road, then to Tenom on the last train in Borneo. From Tenom, travel by road to Keningau followed by visits to Tambunan and the Raffelesia Centre, and returns to Kota Kinabalu across the Crocker Range.

Note that due to railway maintenance, the tour will be done by road until further notice. We have not been provided with a date for resumption of service at this stage. We believe that the train should begin running later this year (2009)

After breakfast, continue to Tambunan before crossing the Crocker Range. Visit the Rafflesia Centre (1,200m above sea level). At the Rafflesia Centre you will have one of the best opportunities to see the largest flower in the world. It is one of the most likely places to see the Rafflesia flower in bloom. Even if no flowers are open, you will certainly find some Rafflesia buds. From Tambunan, return by road over the ridges of the Croker Range to your hotel in Kota Kinabalu. (Breakfast and Lunch)
