Mari Mari Cultural Village
Curious about the "ancient way of life" in Sabah? This half day trip will take you to Mari Mari Cultural Village, just 25 minutes out of Kota Kinabalu City. Upon arrival you will be warmly welcomed to the different homes of 5 ethnic tribes of Sabah. Each home was built by descendants of the tribes they represent and offers you a truly genuine experience, seeing everything in and around the village is like stepping back in time.
The village portrays the fascinating differences in architecture, costumes and traditions of the five different tribes and you will get to see demonstrations of ancient activities coming into life such as the making of blowpipes, starting a fire from bamboo, tattoo-making. You will also get to sample traditional food & drink and enjoy a buffet meal as part of this unique trip into Sabah's past. |
