Audley in Malaysia
Malaysia is a great introduction to Southeast Asia, and can be easily explored by hire car. However, to discover some of the unexplored regions that you might otherwise miss, we can arrange a private car with chauffeur guide for a similar price. This way you can visit some of the more remote Orang Asli villages in the Cameron Highlands, sample the local delicacies of Penang’s night market and experience the more relaxed and traditional way of life in the atmospheric fishing villages of the east coast.
At the end of the trip your chauffeur guide can leave you to enjoy one of Malaysia’s stunning beaches. We get to the heart of the country, utilising experienced local guides and our own knowledge in the careful planning of your itinerary. Accommodation in Malaysia ranges from some of the most sophisticated beach resorts in the world through atmospheric colonial buildings to the small jungle lodges we have discovered on our research trips.
Self Drive
Good roads and driving on the left make Malaysia a great option for a self drive holiday.
The main cities are busy and not always clearly signed, but expressways and older trunk roads tend to be quiet and easy to navigate.
The expressways have good, frequent rest stops whilst travelling on the older roads allows the opportunity to stop at local villages and roadside stalls where children sell seasonal fruits fresh from their family farms.
Hire cars are of good quality and the road maps are some of the best in Southeast Asia.
