The Mari Mari Cultural Village is located in Kionsom, Inanam, in a remote woodland setting, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Mari Mari Cultural Village reflects the lifestyles of five important Sabah ethnic groups: farmers and traders Dusun and Rungus, hunters and fisherman Lundayeh, cowboys and sea gipsies Bajau, and the famously feared warrior tribe Murut — all of which are built by descendants of the tribes they represent.
For a more hands-on experience, visit the village’s little huts, where everyday rhythms of traditional Sabahan life are brought to life. Take the opportunity to witness demonstrations of blowpipe making, bamboo fire starting, and tattoo making. Additionally, visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy traditional Sabahan delicacies from each ethnic group.
