“Sepilok Nature Lodge stands out thanks to its incredible proximity to the region's best wildlife attractions; imagine stepping out your door and into the rainforest. The location is matched by a genuine commitment to eco-tourism, so you can observe orangutans and sun bears responsibly, then retreat to a chalet with its own balcony. For those seeking immersion in nature, and I think it is the point of a trip to Sandakan, this place delivers.”
