The Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Center, located near the town of Sandakan, is one of the best places on earth to see the famous wild man of Borneo in its natural habitat. Here at the Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Center, the largest and oldest of its kind on earth, a dedicated team of professionals work tirelessly to assist orphaned, abandoned or abused Orang utans to learn the survival skills they need to return to their natural habitat - the teeming jungles of Borneo.
A raised wooden walkway takes you to the observation deck where Orang utans slowly emerge from the rainforest to be fed by the rangers. The Sepilok centre supplements the rehabilitated Orang Utan's diet with a feeding at 10.00am and 3.00pm. Although there is a high possibility of seeing Orang Utans during the feeding time, wildlife sightings can not guaranteed as the Orang Utans roam freely in the jungle. The Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Center is a wonderful facility and its objectives have expanded in recent years. It now also provides medical aid to other local wildlife species including; Sun Bears, Gibbons, Sumatran Rhinoceros and the occasional injured Elephant. During your visit to Sandakan you will also have the chance to visit the Puh Jih Shih Buddhist Temple. The temple is situated on a hill-top looking and provides great photo opportunities of the breathtaking views over Sandakan Bay. After lunch, transfer to Sandakan airport to catch your flight back to Kota Kinabalu.
