~*~ Welcome to Sepilok Nature Resort, Sandakan, Sabah ~*~

Hidden amongst a veritable treasure trove of tropical plants and grasses, huge trees and spectacular orchids in bloom, the quaint bungalows of Sepilok Nature Resort are walking distance of the world-famous Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserve, precious home of the last wild Orang-utans of Northern Borneo. The Resort offers all the comforts and amenities needed after a long wet day trekking in the forest : all the timber chalets - sitting by a beautiful lake - have attached bathrooms with hot and cold water, shower and bathing tub, ceiling fan and air-conditioning. Meals are served in the central building under covered terraces, and it is not uncommon at all to wake up in the morning with an Orang utan or a few pig-tail Macaques sitting on the verandah. Besides being the ideal starting point for most other wildlife land destinations in Sabah, as the Kinabatangan river and the surrounding Sukau area, the Sepilok Nature Resort also offers the perfect setting for relaxing before or after a diving trip to Lankayan.
