This place was great, thoroughly enjoyed the experience. There were a few reviews that weren't so great so l wasn't sure, but after being here l would recommend it for sure. Its not a zoo, its also not a circus act! Its a rehabilitation centre, so go with the right knowledge and you wont have any unrealistic expectations. We found... More

It took us around 30 minutes from the town of Sandakan to Sepilok by car. We were there in the morning so we expected feeding time. The place was crowded and overflowed with foreign tourists. Different fees for different people. Extra charges for foreign tourists, obviously. Extra MYR10 to bring a camera in; and then it got me thinking -... More

A good program and great animals. Certainly a well oiled machine in dealing with tourists. 30MR entry pp, plus 10MR for camera. Stay for the video.

Close from Sandakan, cheap and easy access by public transport. Short ,ovie about Orangutan Rehabilitation Center. Comfortable walk to the platform where you can see orangutans. (If you get lucky and orangutans come:)

We were so amazed of this place. Wonderful to see those majestic animals in their natural enviroment. We saw one baby orangutan already before going into the forest. She/he was right behind the main building. And we saw couple ornagutans on the feeding platform. We also saw diffrent kind of squirrels. The introductive movie was great too. Overall fantastic place,... More

Nice to speak to the Vet's wife who circulated and a lady from Hampshire who was running the 'adoption' scheme which my daughters instantly joined. We spoke to a local developer about deforestation and its... More

The orangutan sanctuary is great for getting up close to the orangutans, we went here before going to Uncle Tans just in case we didn't see any in the wild . Everybody loved it we saw one of the orangutans make an umbrella out of leaves to shelter from the rain , while we all got soaking wet , not... More

In a place like this it would be nice if people kept their children in check. It was a wonderful opportunity to see the younger orangs but seeing them along the river cruise felt much more authentic.
