Sepilok's in the heart of nature. One of its main attractions is the orangutan conservation and rehabilitation centre, orangutans being one of two monkey species native to Borneo.

My suggestion
In addition to the orangutan centre, which you must visit if you've not been to the one in Kunchung near Sepilok, there's also the proboscis monkey reserve at Labuk Bay. A must-see during your trip to Malaysia.

Sepilok is an orang-utan rehabilitation centre located in the Malaysian state of Sabah, on the island of Borneo. For some it's an essential place to visit. For others it's somewhere to avoid.
My suggestion
It's best to come here early in the morning so you get the chance to go on two orang-utan watching trips over the course of the day. And take a picnic with you: everything here is designed to extract money from tourists.
The western coast islands, less popular than the those on the oriental coast, will delight the visitors who venture there. Easily accessible from Kuala Lumpur, they present a diversity of landscapes and auras as well as a rich cultural heritage.
Malaysia is a surprising country in every way. And the cluster of lakes linked to one another that go by the name of Tasik Chini will definitely live up to expectations! If this is not the case, then maybe the lake's monster will leave you speechless; rumour has it that it haunts the depths!
