You can make a contribution to improving the plight of these endangered primates by visiting the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre inside the reserve. You'll see orang-utans that have recently been released back into the wild, being fed as they progress from captive patients to healthy animals living in the wild.

Sepilok Nature Resort is just 10 minutes walk from the reserve. The resort's amenities and proximity to the sanctuary make it the ideal place from which to visit the orangutans. Many of our guests include this resort as an 'add-on' package to their dive trip to Sabah. The centre is the biggest and first of its kind. It may ultimately be the orang utans only hope for survival, and your tourist dollars will help.
The lakeside eco-resort, set amongst tropical plants and orchids, trees and grasses, has comfortable timber chalets with hot and cold water shower and bath, air-conditioning and ceiling fans. It is 25 kilometres from the town of Sandakan (the name Sepilok means 16 in the local dialect - 16 miles).
Explore the natural Bornean wonders of the Sepilok Forest Reserve, where proboscis monkeys, macaques, tarsiers, amphibians, reptiles and birds abound. The trails are well marked and the local guides are friendly, reliable and extremely knowledgeable.

| diving details... |
Sepilok Nature Resort is the ideal add-on package for nature loving scuba divers.
You can relax and spend a couple of days or more at the beginning or end of your dive adventure by exploring the wild forests of Borneo and encounter such rare animals as orangutans and the endemic and bizarre-looking proboscis monkey.
The reserve is very close to Lankayan, but also easy to reach from both Sipadan and Kota Kinabalu.
