Sandakan, once Sabah's capital, retains scattered colonial mansions and religious relics from its WWII history. Nearby, the world-famous Sepilok Orang-Utan Sanctuary offers close-up views of these animals at feeding time, while the Rainforest Discovery Centre's canopy walkway is ideal for spotting tropical birds. A Kinabatangan River wildlife tour reveals orang-utans, proboscis monkeys and crocodiles amidst rich floodplains, and the vast Gomantong Cave system is home to millions of bats and swiftlets prized for their nests.
