Start your tour with a drive through its capital, Kota Kinabalu City, formerly known as "Singgahmata" or "the Place where the Eye Lingers". See places of interests in the city centre such as the State and City Mosque and the Sabah Museum for the historical and cultural aspects of the indigenous people.

After the museum, continue the day with a visit to the Lok Kawi Wildlife Park. This park is run by Sabah Wildlife Department under the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Environment. The park covers about 280 acres of land which includes the Botanical Site managed by Sabah Forestry Department and the Zoological Site. This family-oriented park features exotic and endangered species such as the Proboscis monkeys, the Malayan tigers, the Orang Utan, the Borneo Pygmy elephants and colourful hornbill birds.

On the Botanical side, visitors can walk the 1.4 km trail that leads to the Herbal and Ginger Garden to catch a glimpse of the ever famous pitcher plant (nepenthes sp) and an opportunity to examine some rare plant species up close. Some dipterocarp trees can also be found in this area. After the visit, depart back to the city, stop for light lunch before drop off at your hotel.
