Photographer’s Note

This waterfall called Takob-Akob. The named was given by a tree name at this waterfall.

Takob-Akob Waterfalls stood tall about 80m as one of Maliau Basin icon. Another icon waterfall was Maliau Falls that have 7 stage falls.

Maliau Basin was a conservation area under Sabah Foundation. Maliau Basin also known as Lost World of Sabah because it was still mystery nature untill now. While this entire region is rugged, the saucer-shaped Maliau Basin is distinguished by its almost circular perimeter, sharply delimited on all sides by cliffs or very steep slopes, making it insurmountable on foot from most directions.

The Basin represents a single catchment, and is drained by a set of radiating tributaries of the Maliau River, one of which descends a magnificent series of waterfalls, known as Maliau Falls. Numerous smaller waterfalls have also been discovered throughout the Basin. The Maliau River then drains through a gorge out of the southeast of the Basin into the Kuamut River, which in turn feeds into the Kinabatangan, the longest river in Sabah.
