The world's largest Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre is located here, a 20-minute drive from Sandakan. More than 4,500 hectares of virgin jungle have been set aside here as a forest reserve and rehabilitation centre for orang utans which have been rescued fromcaptivity or abandoned by their mothers.

Visitors can come in close contact with this remarkable "man of the forest" and photograph some of the mature females who have gotten so fond of human company that they refuse to go back to the wild. There is also a platform to watch the orang utan come in from the forest for their rations of milk and bananas.
