Sepilok Forest Edge Resort

... base for the night and checked into our rather basic room (but for £14 a night, we couldn’t really complain!) Sepilok Forest Edge Resort was situated right in the middle of the forest so we were surrounded by buzzing insects and jungle noises all ...

... in Sepilok itself. We didn't care if there was nothing to do, we were still physically unable to walk anyway. The Forest Edge Resort was wonderful. We stayed in their longhouse, and ate in their open restaurant looking down onto the Jacuzzi and the ...

... hours and the claps of thunder were cacophonous. In the morning we woke up and had breakfast before setting off for the Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary. The rainforest in Borneo is luscious and wonderful - I have never been anywhere where it's felt so ...

With Mark feeling a bit better we headed down to Sepilok Orangutan rehabilitation sanctuary(only a 10 min walk from our lodge) after breakfast. There are only 3 orang-utan sanctuary's in the world and we learnt when we watched the video later in the day ...

... Orang Utans are rehabilitated and then set free. Just outside the jungle are a couple of guest houses and we checked into the Sepilok Jungle Resort. We managed to land ourselves a delux double room, complete with TV, minibar, fan AND air con! All for a ...

... we flew to Sandakan.  We are finally in the middle of the Borneo jungle that I've been waiting to see.  Tomorrow, monkeys, primates and birds galore!  For anyone who might need to reach us: we are staying at the Sepilok Forest Edge ...

... in his element!  The next day we got up early & moved our stuff to the B&B which is on the forest edge.  This resort was much better & felt like you were actually in the jungle.  We headed for the Orangutan Sanctuary ready for ...

... my eyes. Oh, but we did see yet another wild orangutan. Three days in a row!! Well cool. So today's trip was to the Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary, where they do orangutan rescue, rehab and re-homing. We catch the morning feed and get to see two mothers with ...

... stayed 2 nights, giving us the whole next day at the sanctuary and the nearby rainforest discovery centre.    Sepilok rehabilitates orang utans who have been injured or orphaned by the clearing of forests for palm plantations. They have 2 ...

... wait for a coach to go pass. After waiting 45 minutes, we were on a bus, and 5 short hours later we were in Sepilok. Sepilok is about 25km before Sandakan and is where we would actually be staying as this is the home of the Orangutan sanctuary, our main ...

... flight – thankfully. We arrived at our accommodation for the next 5 nights at around 3pm.  The lodge was great, on the edge of loads of jungle with nothing else around us, so the noises from all the birds and animals was simply amazing. We ...

... flight was on-time and we arrived into Sandakan airport according to plan and were met by a representative of our hotel: Sepilok Jungle Resort and promptly transferred over there by minibus. To call this place a Jungle Resort is like hitting the nail on ...

For days 5 and 6 we stayed at this almost nature reservesque place. Forest edge isn't a high class place on the wallet but the service and scenery are. Imagine waking up going outside and it's a rain forest. That's how cool this place is. The hostel is ...

Up at 6 and off on the river by 6.30. We hadn't seen proboscis monkey (unique to Borneo and with a very strange bulbous floppy nose) yet so that was Eve’s challenge for the morning and she didn’t let us down. Within half an hour we were ...

... camp, as we'll have to go all the way back, and then return on this same road. We're dropped off at Sepilok Jungle Resort, after having lunch with Suzanne at Uncle Tan's office. Resort and grounds look great, but room is pretty budget - aging ...

... jungle we headed back home for more dancing with Grandma. We left Batu Putih Village and headed for Sepilok. Sepilok is a small town on the edge of very large jungle reserve which is home of a large orangutan rehabilitation center. My first thought ...

... into KL was heart breaking to look down and see miles of the stuff!!! Finally, we got to the Myne Resort, which was an incredible place on the rivers edge, i kept forgetting to take my shoes off when i enter buildings... Old habits die ...
