This weeks ‘wildlife Wednesday’ features Chad and Corina from Adventure filled life. Passionate about natural landscapes and travel, their blog focuses on their adventures around Asia and Europe, although the rest of the world is on the cards. We caught up recently as they were keen to share their story about finding orangutan in the wild.

We’ve spoken briefly about your animal encounters while on the road, which have been your favourite to see in their natural environment and why?
How did it make you feel, finding orangutan in the wild and being able to see them up close in their own home?
What made you choose this particular orangutan rehabilitation center?

Had you seen them before in a zoo/sanctuary? How did it compare?
Animal tourism has become a big thing over the years. Have you had any experiences that looking back on, you feel weren’t very ethical, you perhaps wouldn’t do again or any that you wouldn’t recommend to other, what was it and why?

What advice would you give other travellers looking to find orangutan in the wild for themselves?
Do you have any advice on being an ethical traveller?
To find out more about Chad and Corina’s travels around Malaysia, you can find them on Instagram and Facebook. For their latest guides to Aisa and Europe, don’t forget to check out their website.

So glad to hear that at this rehabilitation center, their goal is to get the orangutans familiar enough with the jungle again that they don’t come back any longer. It must have been an incredible experience to see the orangutans up close and natural.
I haven’t seen orangutans in the wild and would love to. While I’m not into zoos, I am a fan of rehabilitation centers that really focus on making life better for those they care for, and with the end result that they will be set free. Putting Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Center on my list!
Really great post and what an experience. I love how this place aims to get the orangutans to leave on their own. I hope to have this experience one day.
This had to be such a cool experience! 🙂 Loving these tips on how to be a more ethical traveler.
Thank you for the Interview guys! I look forward to reading more of your Wildlife Wednesday posts!
