Hanging out in Borneo: Where to meet the ginger locals
The state of Sabah is in East Malaysia, occupying the northern part of Borneo. It’s flush with idyllic beaches, reef and rainforest. In 1963, a 43sq km stretch of land at the edge of Kabili Sepilok Forest Reserve was transformed into a protected orangutan rehabilitation site. You can spy wild orangutans during feeding time (10am-2pm) and observe adolescent ones just about ready to leave the rehabilitation programme.
