The Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre on the island of Borneo teaches baby orangutans necessary survival skills in an open, protected rainforest preserve. Take a walk along a wooden boardwalk leading into the jungle for the chance to observe the orangutans from several viewing platforms, as well as an air-conditioned nursery.
The easiest way to visit the center is as part of a day trip from nearby Sandakan or a tour from the Sabah state capital of Kota Kinabalu. These tours sometimes include round-trip flights to avoid a 10-hour return journey across the island. Tours departing Sandakan typically include a city tour and lunch, and often visit the neighboring sun bear sanctuary.
