The Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre is world-renowned for its exemplary work in primate protection. He takes in orphans, captive monkeys and the wounded. After the necessary care and survival training for the youngest, they are released into the wild. Unfortunately, some of them cannot be reintegrated and remain in the centre. Monkeys are fed twice a day, bananas and milk. There are nearly 200 of them living on the reserve, and they only come if they are hungry. Thus, the guarantee of seeing them is not guaranteed and their number on the platforms varies according to the days. The centre attracts a large number of tourists, and almost all stop here at least one night before continuing on to Sipadan, Kinabatangan or Sukau. Nonchalant apes are fed at 10am and 3pm and it is better to arrive 30 minutes before in order to optimize the chances of observing them from the equipped platforms. Very shy in their natural environment, it is in Sepilok that you will have the best chance to see them and bring back unforgettable photos. The influx of tourists can make the experience somewhat unpleasant, but most of them only stay for about 20 minutes and leave with a smile on their face. Also, to enjoy a little more calm, try to stay until the doors close at 11am or 4pm. Be sure to visit the outdoor nursery before you leave.

La cadre de ce centre est superbe pour admirer les orang outangs. La visite commence par un film vraiment dispensable mais bon il faut passer par là. Ensuite , on commence une marche a travers ponts en bois au fil de la marche , on peut en apercevoir quelques uns de pres marchant sur les rembardes ou accrochés aux arbres . Mais le gros de la visite se situe au centre de l'attraction ou sur des arbres sont nourris en hauteur les animaux , ils se balancent sur des cordes et les petits se promenent . Le spectacle est amusant 15 minutes mais sinon ensuite rien d'autres n'est proposé. Mais c'est pour la bonne cause puisque l'espece menacée est en partie préservée grace aux fonds de ces centres. LA boutique est sympa, on peut y trouver de jolis souvenirs.

Bien organisé, assez commercial, prix un peu excessif comparé au centre Semenggoh à Kuching. (que j'ai préféré) Vous avez la possibilité de voir une vidéo d'une vingtaine de minutes et ce plusieurs fois par jour. Il y a également des casiers gratuits car il est obligatoire de laisser votre sac et votre bouteille d'eau, seuls les appareils photos sont admis à l'intérieur. Nous n'avons vu que 3 Orang-outan lorsque nous y étions, il y avait beaucoup de monde et plein de gens de gardaient pas le silence alors qu'il est noté très clairement un peu partout qu'il faut être silencieux afin de ne pas effrayer les orang-outan. Les plateformes sont assez loins 15mètres, vous ne voyez donc pas les orang-outan de si près mais dans la nature et ce même à Bornéo il est difficile de les apercevoir. Je ne regrette pas d'y avoir été et si vous êtes à Sepilok allez-y mais n'allez pas dans la région uniquement pour cela, vous risquez d'être déçu!
The visit begins at the projection of a film, then you go to the place where are fed the orang-outang. You can see them quite meadows. In seeing for nature that can be difficult (one did not see us elsewhere than in the centre), even if a little tourist attraction, it is a good way on see some.
It is really beautiful to see in Malaysia also one concern of the condition and animal that the malays looking to protect the species of their country! Of course tourism helps finance this centre but the attitude some visitor is disconcerting! The nourrissage of the orang outans takes place at 9:00 and much is raw zoo and forget that these animals are in mi freedom and need silence and do not want to feel to observe! In any case the orang outans reproduce in the centre, it is very encourage! Visit the center and become aware of all problems concerning the natural habitat of the orang outans it is, but remember that it is not a zoo and that it is necessary to respect the rules of the center!
If you love animals, it is really see, orang outans is magnificent and I saw several baby on their mothers.
