Rasa Ria Nature Reserve and Orang Utan Rehabilitation program

           Katie, a six year old Orang Utan at Rasa Ria Nature Reserve

The 64 acres nature reserve was established with the aim of educating and promoting conservation.
The Rasa Ria Nature Reserve was established by Shangri-La’s Rasa Ria Resort in collaboration with the State Wildlife Department of Sabah.

This protected ecological space aims to facilitate rehabilitation programmes for endangered species of animals as well as those endemic in Sabah. The Rasa Ria Nature Reserve provides a home until they ready to be rehabilitated into their natural habitat.

The main focal point is the young orphaned orang utans and providing a platform to educate on conservation. They had various programs at the nature reserve including nocturnal activities.
When I brought my guests for a visit on 26 April 2013, there were 4 orang utans under the stage 1 rehabilitation program.

Conservation fees : MYR65
Booking : 3 days in advance

Honeywell's Meeting Group

It was a truly tiring but yet satisfactorily rewarding group for me to handle. Right from planning the tours, arranging the meeting venue and all other stuff all alone with success was truly a thrilling experience.

Would love to do this once every two months! :)
