Sandakan: Orangutans, Sepilok Rainforest & Fireflies...
Located around fifteen minutes away from both Sandakan City and the airport, I found Sepilok. Unlocking the door to the Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre and an abundance of lush rainforest area. I was able to find a direct flight down from Kuala Lumpur to Sandakan, transporting me from the capital to a pocket of calm. After a chance 'Grab Taxi' meeting, a firefly cruise I took! I had not been impressed by my KL property, I really kept my expectations high as my airport taxi approached my 'Sepilok B&B'. Would that rainforest lodge type accommodation be everything that I wanted to be? To be honest, I was impressed because for the low price the settings were scenic and piratically silent. Birds were singing in every direction and a soft breeze passed through the immediate area, it was such a tonic to be in a location quite like that! I was under no illusion that my room wouldn't be fancy, the low price ensured I got what I paid for but that didn't compromise on
