ORANGUTANS in BORNEO! | Sepilok Orangutan Rehab Centre in Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia

Welcome back to another video in our Malaysia Travel Vlog series! Today we are in Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia and we are visiting the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre.

Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre is 43 sq km of protected land at the edge of Kabili Sepilok Forest Reserve. Today around 25 young orphaned orangutans are housed in the nurseries on site, in addition to around 60 to 80 orangutans that are living FREE in the reserve.

We really enjoyed seeing these beautiful creatures and learned so much at the centre/reserve. If you are in Sabah we highly recommend adding this stop to your itinerary.

We also visit the sun bear sanctuary that is very near to the Orangutan Centre. The Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre is the only sun bear conservation centre in the world. It was founded in Sabah, Malaysia in 2008 with two aims: to provide care and rehabilitation to rescued sun bears; and
to increase awareness of sun bears internationally.

Thanks for watching! If you enjoyed this video like, comment, and SUBSCRIBE!
