Wasn't too impressed. Only two feeding times per day and so many rules. Was super duper crowded at the morning feeding and pouring rain in the afternoon feeding. You think they'd realize this and adjust the schedule accordingly. In my opinion, you'd be better heading to the danum valley to see the Orang's in the natural habitat!

It is very nice place where to see orangutans in nature. Tickets bought (camera has to be paid separately) allow you to visit both morning feeding and afternoon feeding which is very good since sometimes only one orangutan can appear. If you have time do not forget to watch a document about sanctuary work as well. Most of the accommodation...

It was worth the visit to see the orangutans. There are also lots of entertaining macaques to watch while waiting for the orangutans to show up. The intro video was interesting, but the setup for watching it was awful. A TV (smaller than in most homes) at a low level in the front of an odd shaped room with a...

Take an umbrella for either the sun or rain - kids loved it.

Nice to see the orangutans free to disappear into the forest and not in a cage!

Flew in here from Kota Kinabalu on a day trip specifically to see the centre. Slightly mad dash across Borneo which I would not recommend unless you are very committed to include this place in your travels. Super place which is doing great work and gained a lot of information. The slow and orderly arrival of the animals at feeding...

It was really fun to watch the orangutans and the macaques, which came to steal the food. We all were wowed by the beautiful ginger orangutans. The 20 minute video was also enjoyable and informative to watch. You can buy leech socks at the info center for the price of 30MR, 3 times the price that my Kinabatangan River lodge...
