Full description
Mari Mari Cultural Village, sequestered in the remote primary rainforest of Kiansom in Inanam, is Sabah's premier living ethnographic museum. Designed as a living sanctuary preserving the authentic architectural traditions, survival crafts, and ritual customs of Borneo's indigenous ethnic tribes, visitors journey across suspension bridges into five distinct tribal longhouses: Kadazan-Dusun (rice farmers & wine brewers), Rungus (beadmakers & longhouse dwellers), Lundayeh (bark vest weavers & hunters), Bajau (seafarers & sweet cake bakers), and Murut (renowned headhunters and warriors). This official B2B admission pass includes a guided village circuit, interactive blowpipe and fire-making trials, the electrifying Lansaran trampoline performance, and a full traditional Sabahan buffet feast.
