Sabah, Day 5: The Orang Utangs
The next day brought us a slow walk on very painful legs to see the Orang Utan sanctuary in Sepilok, where a good time was to be had watching about a dozen of Orang Utangs, and several dozens of fairly cheeky Macaques.
The Macaques even had the cheek to come all the way up to the people, and one even climbed the head of one of our fellow travellers, sat on him for at least ten minutes, grooming our friend’s ears and hair.
We had good sight and amble time there, and could even return to the feeding platform after the crowds of other visitors were gone.
Following the very packed previous day, it was nice to have a more relaxed day to stroll around in the sanctuary, and take time for the drive to Sukau, our next destination. It’s a shame the tour wasn’t better planned in that the days were very unevenly packed; this was a pretty lazy day while the previous one had lots of action from 3am to 9pm. I am sure there must be a way to plan this better, but fail to provide a proposal.
