One of the best spot and opportunity to see Orang Utan is at Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre in Sabah, it is located approximately 25km from Sandakan Town. There would be an information session that shown in a video form to let visitors know more information such as Orang Utan adoption options, operation system and it takes for around 30 minutes. Every visitor is required to pay for entrance fee of RM5 for Malaysian and RM30 for foreigners.

The Sepilok Orang Utan Nursery

There is a new nursery that opened recently in the centre. Visitors can have a sit to see and enjoy those Orang Utan climb around the equipment, interact and play with each other and swing from ropes to ropes. Everyone can see their hilarious behaviours when they are playing around.

Obviously they are chilling under a sunny day.

Feeding Time

Then, visitors can proceed to the feeding platform and wait for the Orang Utan. Then, the branches rustle and the ropes start to move after the rangers prepared the food. It would be an awesome sight when they slowly approach the feeding platform and the way they eat. The feeding platform is large enough to fit around 40 visitors and it feels free to move around to get great photos from different angles. By the way, visitors are required to keep silence and do not approach Orang Utan for fear of attack.
