Orangutans in Borneo

Orangutans!

We got our first glimpse of the beautiful men of the forest at the Shangri La Rasa Ria Resort just outside of Kota Kinabalu in Borneo.  The resort is home to a small sanctuary, and all three of us were really impressed by the staff, the facilities, and of course the apes.







After spending a couple of hours watching the orangutans and talking to the staff, we mosied back to the reception area which was absolutely beautiful! As a result we spent a fair bit of time just lounging around, before embarking on a fairly hefty drive all the way across Borneo to our next destination.  The resort also obviously made a pleasant change from our usual accommodation of the cheapest hostel we can find in a town.  The orangutans were amazing, and we had such a lovely morning watching them.  I would definitey recommend anyone to visit the sanctuary if they find themselves in Borneo!
