Discover unforgettable wildlife encounters in Sepilok
A holiday to Sepilok in Borneo promises an immersive journey into lush rainforest, incredible wildlife and some of the island’s most memorable natural encounters.
Sepilok is one of our favourite places to experience Borneo’s extraordinary wildlife, with lush rainforest providing the backdrop for some of the island’s most memorable encounters. The region is best known for its orangutans, and visiting the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre offers the chance to see these remarkable animals while learning about the vital conservation work helping them return to the wild.
We also recommend visiting the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre, home to the world’s smallest bear, and exploring the surrounding rainforest on guided walks. Keep your eyes peeled for colourful hornbills, macaques and other wildlife, while night walks reveal a fascinating world of nocturnal creatures.
We love Sepilok for the way it combines rewarding wildlife experiences with an immersive rainforest setting. It’s also an excellent starting point for a wider Borneo adventure, particularly when paired with the Kinabatangan River or Danum Valley. Spend a few nights here to slow down, get closer to Borneo’s wildlife and appreciate the conservation efforts protecting its precious forests and inhabitants.
