Sepilok Orangutan Rehab Centre and Rainforest Discovery Centre

We asked the Lodge transport back to drop us at the RDC and Sepilok which is about 12 km out of Sandakan and we visited the RDC first and some money has been spent here and its definitely worth a visit. A fantastic canopy walk with 3 major towers and another 30 m tower up the back for checking out hornbills which are related to the Toucan. It was getting to midday so we didn’t see many animals but the gardens lakes and plants were wonderful. Too hot to walk the 2 km to Sepilok so we cabbed it and coughed up the 7 R asked ($2.30) While we were waiting for the orangutan feeding at 3 pm there were some ominous rumbles from the heavens and right on cue it poured and only one orangutan bothered to turn up and he bought an umbrella of a tree limb!! Which made it a bit hard to get a decent photo.
