Malaysia
This is the best national park in Sarawak, on Malaysian Borneo, for seeing wildlife. The bizarre Proboscis Monkey is the standout wildlife attraction at Bako, situated roughly 1.5 hours' time from the lovely capital city of Kuching. The boat journey from "Kampong Bako" is an exhilarating and scenic experience in itself, as a six-person wooden motorboat takes you past village houses (and some crocodiles) before the majestic South China Sea opens up before your eyes.
