Frequently Asked Questions
We've heard MY Nature Resort is right next to the orangutan centre. How easy is it to visit, and what's the experience like?
It's incredibly convenient; the resort is literally a stone's throw from the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre. We love being able to pop over for the feeding times without any hassle. Just be prepared for the crowds during peak viewing hours, but the chance to see these incredible creatures up close is absolutely worth it.
Beyond the orangutans, what other wildlife can we realistically expect to see around MY Nature Resort?
While the orangutans are the stars, the surrounding Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserve teems with life. We've spotted shy civets and slow lorises on the guided night walks, and the insect diversity is astonishing. Keep your eyes peeled for various bird species too; the rainforest canopy is alive with activity.
What's the best time of year to visit MY Nature Resort for optimal wildlife viewing and comfortable weather?
We find the shoulder seasons, generally March to May and September to November, offer a fantastic balance. The weather is typically less humid than the peak rainy months, and wildlife activity remains high. You'll still get those warm, tropical days perfect for exploring the rainforest trails.
We're looking for a comfortable, eco-friendly stay. What can we expect from the accommodation and the overall atmosphere at MY Nature Resort?
The lodge feels both comfortable and thoughtfully designed with its natural surroundings in mind. We appreciate the eco-friendly approach without sacrificing comfort. Expect well appointed rooms that blend seamlessly into the rainforest, offering a peaceful retreat after a day of exploration.
Are there any specific safety considerations or costs we should be aware of when staying at MY Nature Resort and exploring the area?
The resort itself is very safe, and the staff are knowledgeable about the local environment. We recommend bringing insect repellent, especially for the night walks, and wearing sturdy footwear for the trails. Entrance fees for the rehabilitation centre are modest, and the guided walks are reasonably priced for the incredible experience they offer.
