The sanctuary was well kept but the feeding was a big letdown. This is because there was 3 orang utans who came down to feed. Anyway, it was an eye opener for those who doesn't know about the orang utan sanctuary.

On the day we went, there were more of us than the Orang Utan coming to be fed. But we were lucky in the sense that the weather was dry and that was our only day as we have to travel to Tawau after. Well, still worth the time spent.

It's a rehabilitation center and the orangutans are being fed at certain times of the day, so the chances of seeing them are very high. We went there for the morning feeding and saw three of them. Not surprisingly the number of tourists vastly outnumbers the number of orangutans.
However, it's probably one of the best chances for a close...

This is the place you just have to visit when you are in Sandakan. The sanctuary is a wonderful place to visit even if you don’t see any Orangutans.
