The Orang Utan is native in Sabah,
Sarawak and
Kalimantan.
Various organisations have set up orang utan rehabilitation
centres in or near the Borneo jungle.
Most rehabilitation centres have set up Visitor Centres in order to
support the up-keeping of the rehabilitation work.
Tourists and visitors can visit these centres either as individual
tourists or as part of a tour. Many travel agencies in Sabah and
Sarawak offer Orang Utan tours every day. For individual
visitors it is essential to only arrive at the feeding times, as
otherwise there will be no access to the orang utans.
