Itinerary
This centre was established in 1964 to help rehabilitate orangutans which had been orphaned. Just like a human baby, the orphaned young orangutan (which would normally live with its mother for 5-6 years) needs to be taught how to cope in the wild, while its health is carefully monitored during rehabilitation.
Visit the world’s smallest Sun Bear at the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Center at Sepilok, adjacent to Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre. The centre opened in 2014 and aims to increase public awareness and release back into the forest individuals which can be rehabilitated or are still “wild”. To date, there are about 44 rescued ex-captive sunbears residing at the centre.The centre is equipped with key facilities including an observation platform, boardwalk and a visitor centre.

About Sandakan
Sandakan is a harbour town on Sabah's east coast in Malaysian Borneo, and the gateway to orangutans, sun bears, turtle islands and the Kinabatangan River.
Sandakan sits on a deep bay on the north-east coast of Borneo, in the Malaysian state of Sabah. It was the capital of British North Borneo until 1946, and its waterfront still has stilt villages, a fish market and old shophouses. Puu Jih Shih, a Chinese temple on a hill, looks over the harbour, and Agnes Keith House recalls the American author who lived here. A memorial park marks the site of a wartime prisoner-of-war camp.
