Had a great day today with our driver and guide Faisal. He really made the day with cheerful chat and great knowledge of the places we were visiting and Sandakan in general.
Sepilok Orang Utan sanctuary was very special and we had a couple of very close encounters with these amazing animals and saw about 15 in total.
The sun bears were also incredible. 45 of them in the sanctuary and we must have seen half of these in various stages of activity.
On the the Rainforest Discovery Centre with a great canopy walk - as long as you don’t mind heights ! - and then on to a local Malaysian buffet place for a very local lunch - which was excellent.
Faisal proved lovely company and the whole day was very relaxed and he even dropped up off at the Agnes Keith House for a quick cup of tea!
Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour with Faisal as the guide.
