Brian&Sally Says: The Rainforest Discovery Centre in Sepilok, just down the road from the Sepilok Jungle Resort and the Orang-Utan Rehabilitation Centre, had at the time of writing this tip just been opened. We went for a walk around the grounds as part of a nighttime walk from SJR but...
Banana Cafe and Restaurant: Home-style Malaysian Cooking!
CGarnett Says: The Banana Cafe is just another reason to stay at the Sepilok Jungle Resort. The food is yummy, and the portions are generous. They also offer a few western dishes (eg fried eggs for breakfast, hot dogs for lunch) for those who are craving them. Loved the chicken curry!
Willettsworld Says: Take the local bus, painted blue, with the words "Sepilok Batu 14" from the bus station at the Sandakan market on the waterfront. The fare is RM3.50 for the 30 minute journey. The last bus back to Sandakan leaves at 4:30 pm.

syetan Says: A small bag with your camera and perhaps a spare shirt (it can get quite humid). I'd recommend shoes; otherwise mosquitoes might get your toes!! Loose, comfortable clothing will do. Keep the mosquito repellants in the car/bus. I'd bring deodorant or perfume (in the car too...
dfactor Says: It's best to get to the sanctuary early. You need time to get the tickets and stuff. Plus they have a very interesting video presentation of the sanctuary, on how the orang utans are rescued from the wild and finally releasing them back to their natural habitat. Unlike most...

We stayed 3 nights at a jungle resort in Sepilok. We had some fantastic days here exploring a little bit of the jungle and the animals who lives there. It was great. Especially the Orangu-tang...

Correct me if I'm wrong, it seems everyone is here for the orang utans only. Never thought Sepilok is so popular among the foreign tourists. If only my fellow compatriots would make an effort to come...
