THIS IS WHY WE CAME TO BORNEO! 🇲🇾 ORANGUTANS, RAINFOREST WALKS & MORE! 📍: Sandakan, Sabah (Borneo)

We saw so many orangutans! 🦧 and it was the best!

We spent hours just watching them be before they headed back into the jungle and it was honestly such an amazing experience. This is part of the reason why we came to Sabah and, it did not disappoint.

In today's vlog, we're visiting the Sandakan Rainforest Discovery Center, and the Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary. We wished we had given ourselves more time here. Even though there's not really much to see in the actual town, the nature around is STUNNING!!

★ HERE ARE SOME SANDAKAN TRAVEL TIPS ;)

- You can get to Sandakan by bus, car (roads are not in great shape) or by plane. There's an airport in town.

- If you don't have your own car, make sure to download and set up the Grab app in advance. You'll need it to move around.

- Don't miss a visit to the Rainforest Discovery Center! Even if you don't see anything, the walk is so beautiful! And make sure to book a night guided walk. It's 100% worth it!

- We saw that there were organized tours that take you to all these places. However, they seemed to be rushing everyone out after the orangutan feeding was done. We were on our own, and got to stay walking around and went back to the nursery to see more of the orangutans after the feeding was done. It was very special.

- Other things to do we didn't show in this video: 1. A visit to the sun bear conservation center & 2. Kinabatangan River Cruise (literally everyone we met said this was the best thing they did in Sandakan!! This is a full day tour so give yourself enough time)

- VERY IMPORTANT ⚠️ There's also a conservation center for the proboscis monkeys. However, we decided not to go because it's owned and operated by the palm oil producer responsible for destroying their natural habitat.

Hope these tips help you have a better trip to Sandakan and we hope you enjoy today's video :) If you have questions, feel free to reach out in the comments!

Thanks so much for watching and we will see you in Mabul Island!

Aimara & Gordon
