Sabah
Kota Kinabalu, Kinabalu NP, Sepilok, Lankayan & Selingan Islands Danum Valley, Mabul & Sipadan Islands
Across Borneo, rainfall is either dropping or, in parts, is close to its minimum and March is traditionally one of Sabah’s driest months and a great month to visit, especially as visitor-numbers are relatively low still and it is often far easier to secure accommodation in some of Sabah’s key destinations.

Rainfall is decreasing as we come into March and the increase in the average number of dry days makes it well worth considering a visit to the western state of Sarawak. Furthermore, to keep rainfall in perspective, Sarawak experiences roughly 250 rainy days every year and it may therefore better to be prepared for rain than try and avoid it.
