Wildlife and Nature Tour in Malaysia: Sepilok Orang Utan Sanctuary and Gomantong Caves

Sepilok & Sukau

See baby Orang Utans being fed in their sanctuary, and explore the largest birds’ nests cave


Overview
Sepilok is a sanctuary for Orang Utans where 200 primates, rescued from illegal captivity, have been retrained for jungle living. Get close to them in their natural habitat during the twice-daily feedings. Located in the middle of the Sepilok Forest Reserve, a visit to this Orang Utan Sanctuary offers a fascinating insight into how young and orphan Orang Utans are taught surviving skills before being set free to roam in the reserve. Drive through the scenic Sepilok countryside, enjoying the oil palm and cocoa estates and the thick rainforest. Take a short river cruise which will take you the habitat of Borneo’s famous Proboscis monkey. This habitat also houses an array of birds, reptiles, insects and a diverse rainforest flora.

Explore the Gomantong Caves on the way back to Sandakan. The Gomantong Caves, the largest cave system in Sabah, are about 110 kilometres south of Sandakan, and are home to over one million swiftlets. The swiftlets' nests are collected for the famous Chinese Delicacy, bird's nest soup. Top it up with a short city tour of busy Sandakan to finish the tour.
