An 11 day safari visiting the highlights of Sabah, Borneo. Travellers visit the renowned Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre, the worlds largest Orang Utan Sanctuary. This much documented and world renowned centre rehabilitates Orang Utans rescued from captivity and those orphaned and displaced by logging activities until they are fit to be released for independent life in their natural habitat. This is a perfect opportunity for travellers to see exactly what threats the Orang-utans are facing and the effort required to put a stop to these issues. A visit to the Sanctuary will allow you to come in close contact with the remarkable “man of the forest”. It is interesting and exciting to watch as these large red apes are astonishingly gentle, highly intelligent and will gaze at you with almost disconcerting frankness. In the evening set off into the jungle in search of the nocturnal jungle wildlife.

Sepilok is not the world’s largest orangutan sanctuary. The largest one is Borneo Orangutan Survival’s Nyaru Menteng Project in Indonesia with over 600 rescued orangutans at present.
Thanks for some quality points there. I am kind of new to online , so I printed this off to put in my file, any better way to go about keeping track of it then printing?
