Itinerary
Day 1: Sepilok - Bilit
A Morning Adventure (0800hrs)
Morning, depart from your hotel in Sandakan or meet at Sandakan Airport. Drive to the world-renowned
Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre to witness the feeding of the iconic Orang Utan and a good
opportunity to photograph them in their natural habitat. The centre was established in 1964 to help
rehabilitate the Orang Utans which had been orphaned, or displaced by logging and clearing of secondary
forests for plantation. The magnificent mixed dipterocarp forest offers a natural home to the Orang
Utans, which slowly become less dependent on their twice-daily feeding of milk and bananas at the centre
and eventually return voluntarily to the wild..
Continue to the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre. You can now get close to the world’s smallest
bear in its natural forest environment. These adorable Sun Bear is losing their habitat through
deforestation. The mission of the centre is to promote sun bear conservation in Borneo through animal
welfare, conservation, rehabilitation, education and research – giving captured sun bears a better home
and restoring their right to live in the wild. Visitors will be able to peek in on their activity from the
walkway as they lumbered and played in open-air forest enclosures.(Lunch)
Lunch and check in at Borneo Sepilok Rainforest Restaurant.
After lunch, continue your journey to Bilit by the Kinabatangan River. At 1600 hours, river cruise in
search of wildlife that is so prevalent in the area – a good chance to see proboscis monkey, orang utan,
macaques, pygmy elephants, birds and other wildlife. An early dinner will be served at the lodge. After
dinner, return to Sandakan. Drop off and overnight at Borneo Sepilok Rainforest Resort.(Dinner)
