MIKI’S JUNGLE SURVIVOR / JUNGLE TREKKING
Miki is a true native living in a village at the foot of Mount Kinabalu With three rivers bringing down crystal clear water from the mountain through his land Sardib admits he almost made the disastrous mistake of cutting down the entire forest for commercial fresh water fish ponds. He is now known for his inspiring jungle Borneo survival camp.
That was because I had no other ideas until I met Tham who advised me to keep it for eco-tourism. I have no regrets. I am very happy.
