Visit Sibu Wildlife Sanctuary

A visit to Sibu Wildlife Sanctuary is not your typical sanctuary tour.

It is an immersive, educational experience and a chance to reconnect with nature in a jungle oasis.

RESPONSIBLE WILDLIFE TOURISM

Please be aware that we do not permit visitors to touch or handle the sanctuary wildlife.

Our aim at Sibu Wildlife Sanctuary is to give the wildlife in our care as natural an environment as possible, and this includes eliminating anything that could cause them stress, like unnecessary human contact.

We support Costa Rica’s #StopAnimalSelfies campaign. The illegal pet trade is still a huge issue worldwide, and many of the animals in our care are survivors of this abusive and deadly industry.
