Sandakan · Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre: Explore the home of orangutans.

Sandakan in Sabah, Malaysia, is home to a wonderful nature reserve: the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre. As one of the world's most famous ecotourism destinations, it is not only a sanctuary for endangered orangutans, but also a dream destination for nature lovers! 🌟 Highlights 1. Orangutan feeding time Twice a day (10:00 am and 3:00 pm), orangutans emerge from the depths of the forest to show off their natural climbing and foraging skills, leaving a lasting impression! • We recommend watching from the viewing platform or boardwalk for the best view! 2. Orangutan rehabilitation training ground The center has a rehabilitation training area for orphaned orangutans. Through a glass fence, visitors can watch them learn climbing, foraging, and survival skills under the guidance of staff, like watching a "growth class" in nature. 3. Diverse wildlife in the forest The center is surrounded by tropical rainforest, and in addition to orangutans, you can also see other animals such as long-tailed macaques, monitor lizards, and various birds. Stroll along the boardwalk and enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the pristine forest. 📍 Details • Address: Sepilok, Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia • Opening hours: 9:00 am–4:00 pm daily (feeding times are 10:00 am and 3:00 pm) • Ticket prices: Adults: MYR 30; photography permit: MYR 10. • Transportation: 1. Self-drive: From Sandakan city center, drive along Jalan Labuk for about 25 minutes. 2. Bus or taxi: Take a public bus to Sepilok and walk 10 minutes to the center. 💗 Other tips 1. Dress code: The tropical rainforest is hot and humid, so we recommend wearing breathable, lightweight clothing and bringing mosquito repellent and sunscreen. 2. Keep quiet: Orangutans are sensitive animals, so respect their natural habits and avoid making noise or getting too close. 3. Nearby attractions: • Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre: Adjacent to the orangutan center, you can also see the endangered sun bears. • Sandakan Memorial Park: Learn about World War II history and experience nature. 4. Best time to visit: All year round, but avoid the rainy season for a better experience. 💡 Experience highlights Here, you can not only witness the free life of orangutans, but also understand the importance of protecting endangered species. From the forest trails to the feeding platform, every step is like stepping into a nature class, full of emotion and inspiration. This trip will be a beautiful memory of the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature!
