5. Sandakan Sepilok OrangUtan Rehabilitation Centre
Established in the Kabili-Sepilok rainforest reserve in 1964, the rehabilitation centre is one of only four places in the world set up to preserve and protect orangutans. These lovable creatures are cared for at the rehabilitation centre until they are strong or old enough to return to live independently in the Borneo jungle.A raised wooden walkway takes you to the observation deck where orangutans emerge from the rainforest to be fed by the rangers. This is the best time to watch the orangutans as they roam free and unseen in the surrounding jungle, so take your camera!
