Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre

Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre is a renowned wildlife conservation facility located in the Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserve near Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia. Established in 1964, it was the world's first centre dedicated to rehabilitating orphaned and rescued orangutans. Set within 43 sq km of virgin rainforest, the centre cares for orangutans, trains them to survive in the wild, and releases them. It is a major research and education hub for Bornean orangutan conservation.

Visitors can expect a rainforest setting within the Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserve with wooden boardwalks leading through lowland dipterocarp forest to outdoor viewing platforms and feeding platforms. The centre includes an outdoor nursery for young orangutans, an indoor nursery viewing area with one-way glass, an exhibition hall and information centre, and a cafeteria. Visitors observe semi-wild and rehabilitated orangutans during scheduled feeding times, along with other wildlife such as macaques and birds, in a natural forest environment.
