We liked the fact that this rehabilitation centre was also very accessible with small kids. We would've liked to see a bit more orangutan (there were only 3 of them + some monkeys).

We loved seeing the Orang-Utans and the family with the baby was extra special...Bring bug spray and be prepared for hot and humid conditions. But, well worth the visit, what an experience.

Went to both the morning and afternoon feeding sessions. There were many more orang utans there in the afternoon and it felt like some of them were putting on a show for us.

We have now been a couple of times and will probably go again as we just totally enjoy the behaviour and all the work that is put in by all concerned to save and raise these wonderful Orang-utan "Man of the Forest" if you come to Borneo you have got to see these lovely animals

Fascinating. Every visitor to Borneo should see the orang-utans. The Sepilok reserve is doing a fantastic job to save these beautiful apes.
