Up Close with the Orang Utan

When visiting Sabah, one particular stop is a definite. The Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre in Sandakan, its objective is to return orphaned or injured orangutans back to the wild. Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre (SORC) has successfully released many orphans orangutan back to the Kabili-Sepilok Forest, a virgin jungle that measures up to 4,294 hectare of tropical forest and mangrove swamp.

SORC is open daily with two sessions to the platforms where the orphaned or displaced orangutan would come to feed. These orangutans, that comes to the platforms are those that are ready to move to the open forest, with freedom increased and food dependence being decreased, in hope that they would become integrated with the wild.
