Famous Orang Utan rehabilitation center. Check out the Orang Utan feeding schedule before your visit.
Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre is founded in 1964, where orangutans are rehabilitated before being released at Tabin Wildlife Reserve. There are 60 to 80 orangutans living within this reserve. Visitors can learn more about these precious animals at the educational centre. This centre is connected by wooden boardwalks through lush forests. You can also spot orangutans from the outdoor nursery, where visitors can sit in an air-conditioned room while watching orangutans swinging on ropes and playing with each other. Be sure to look out for the orangutan feeding time. Please be reminded that these animals are able to roam freely, so it is important for visitors to not touch the orangutans when in close proximity.
