Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre
Sabah, Malaysia
personal experience
I have visited this place many times with tour groups.
orangutans
The main reason most people come here is to easily see Orangutans in a relatively natural rainforest setting. Food is put out at a platform every day at the same time, and the animals are free to come and go as they please.
