Description
Mari Mari Cultural Village is located deep in the countryside about 25 minutes away from the modern Kota Kinabalu city. The village operates as a museum that preserves Borneo ethnic culture. It aims to share the knowledge, history, culture, and tradition of Borneo with visitors. This tour offers you the opportunity to see and experience the culture and lifestyle of how the indigenous ethnic groups of Borneo used to live in the olden days.
Upon arrival at the entrance of the village, teleport back to the times of ancient Borneo through the magical display of unique ingenious architecture and ritualistic ceremonies. You will be ushered into different homes of the ethnicities of Sabah to get acquainted with each village tribe and experience their rich culture. Each home was built by descendants of the tribes they represent, offering you a genuine experience.
Check out the little demonstration huts in the village where daily routines of traditional Sabahan life come alive.
See blowpipe-making demonstration, fire-starting demonstration using bamboo, tattoo-making demonstration, and get an in-depth look at the mystical symbolisms behind them. Also get a chance to sample Sabahan traditional delicacies from each ethnic group such as the Montoku (rice wine) and witness bamboo cooking.
Feast your eyes to a cultural show performance by the tribes and sample a traditional meal.
