The orang-utan sanctuary at Sepilok has a worldwide reputation for its work.
Covering 40 square kilometres, the sanctuary is a rehabilitation centre for orang-utans which have been orphaned, injured or threatened by oil palm plantations.
Although Sepilok is covered by rich jungle foliage, making it perfect habitation for the orang-utans, there are regular feeding times, when chances of spotting these fascinating creatures are almost assured.
An informative presentation gives you a background to the centre and we recommend that those with a particular interest in wildlife stay overnight in the area, enabling you to visit the sanctuary outside the busy times of day and explore the surrounding jungle in greater depth.
