More details
Orangutans And Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre
If orangutans have eluded you in the wild, Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre offers a wonderful chance to see these primates as they are on their journey through rehabilitation and back into the wild. A 43 kilometre squared reserve of lowland primary rainforest and mangrove, Sepilok was made into an orangutan protection zone in 1964. Fruit is placed on platforms in the rainforest twice daily and released orangutans can return to feed in order to supplement what they cannot find in the wild.
