Bajau is a tribe from Survivor South Africa: Malaysia. Their tribe color is yellow.
Bajau thrived at their camp, largely thanks to Hein's vast experience in survival skills. However, the tribe became divided between the main food providers and the misfits, and personalities clashed often. After the tribe switch, Bajau received a majority of the physically stronger players, but it did not spare them from Tribal Council, losing two members before the merge. After the merge, tribal dynamics were drawn based on original tribal affiliations, and the Bajau Alliance was decimated by the controlling Iban Alliance.
