Sepilok

Sepilok, it is not a new word for many people now a day

as not just people keep talking about it but even in a
brochures people read about it. Yes Sepilok is one of
the largest rehab for Orang Utans in Sabah. It is located
in Sandakan. Sepilok is one of many conservation program done
by the Wildlife Department in Sabah. As they started
to realize few years ago that there many of the natural
habitat of the Orang Utan has been cleared for farm,
they found Orang Utan trapped in a small vegetation
surrounded by miles and miles of palm plantations.
Wildlife rangers from Sepilok will get the Orang Utan
and relocate them to another forest.
Some Orang Utan especially the young one easily

caught by local and then keep them as pets.
Sepilok will try to get these orang Utan that been kept
by the local and trained them to back to the wild.
Not all of these Orang Utan can be return back to
the wild. Orang Utan that been raised as pet can
never be return to the wild but still some can be
rehabilitate. The 43sq kilometer of protected land
has become a refuge place for some Orang Utan
that has been fully rehabilitated. In Sepilok, they
are given milk and bananas in purpose of making
them bored with it and encourage the apes to start
forage for themselves.

My Choice Hotel Of the Month "Magelan Sutera Resort"

I did a hotel inspection recently with Nicholas Ghosh from Audley Travel around Kota Kinabalu and we inspected few hotels and for this month I decided to choose Magelan Sutera Resort to be posted in here.

What is the most impressed me was the rooms, we inspected few rooms there and we notice that most of the rooms have a separate shower. This are the most common question ask by tourist. The Bath room has a window that can be open from the inside and make it able to enjoy the view out side or watch the TV while having a bath on a bath tub.
The room that I manage to take photos was this picture below
I impressed most of the room they've showed us, but if you willing to spent few hundred dollars you can enjoy a luxury and nice accommodation.View hotel rate.
