Itinerary

  • Semenggoh Wildlife Centre

    Semenggoh Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre situated about a 30-minute drive from Kuching. Here the Orangutans are being nurtured to re-adapt themselves to the jungle life. It is also home to numerous baby orangutan, born in the wild to rehabilitated mothers, a further testament to the success of the program.  You will have to chance to observe the semi-wild orangutans coming out of the forest for the feeding time. Before arriving at the feeding platform, you will have a brief experience walking through the amazing untouched rainforest. As a result of its success, Semenggoh's role has changed and it is nowadays a center for the study of orangutan biology and behavior. A visit to Semenggoh is a once a lifetime experience to see semi-wild orangutan, ranging from tiny infants and boisterous adolescents to dignified mature adults, enjoying life in a secure natural habitat. This tour includes return transfers to your accommodation. You may choose a morning or afternoon departure. Please note: the feeding sessions take place at approximately 9:00 to 9:30am and 3:00 to 3:30pm.

Must-visit For Nature Lovers

Published on Feb, 2025

An unforgettable experience! The reserve is home to semi-wild orangutans, and seeing them in their natural habitat was truly incredible. I was lucky to witness a few orangutans swinging through the trees and coming down for feeding—such a rare and special sight! The environment is well-preserved, with lush greenery and a peaceful atmosphere. (P.S. Do note that sightings are not guaranteed, as the orangutans roam freely, but that’s part of what makes the experience so authentic. Arriving early during feeding times increases your chances.) Overall, a and anyone looking to see these amazing creatures up close while supporting conservation efforts!

It was my lucky day during fruiting season.

Published on Dec, 2024

I had paid for a driver to take me to the Fairy caves and Wind Caves (highly recommend) I asked him if it was worth me coming here due to it being fruiting season and he said sure let's try. Turned up for the afternoon feeding time, in torrential rain, and was blessed with the appearance of 4 orangutans! All the staff are really friendly, it was a great experience!

Came to Kuching expressly for this experience !

Published on Aug, 2024

I came to Kuching expressly to see this Orangutan Centre and was not disappointed. I booked through "Ooo Haa Adventure Tours" and the cost was 125RM. Collected from Ranee Hotel (this was close to where I was actually staying) in a minivan with 6 other travelers. Takes minimum of about 45 minutes to get there and the guide arranges your entry ticket and a ride on a motor train to get to the feeding site. After a brief introductory talk by a ranger the food is laid out on a feeding platform, and you wait in anticipation. We saw 5 orangutans (very large male, a smaller male, a juvenile male and a mother and baby - OMG - so excited and privileged. Apparently, it is sometimes very "hit and mis" as to whether the animals indulge us with their presence and the people who came for the morning feeding session only saw 2 orangutans (but two is infinitely preferable to none). No complaints about anything - I loved the experience and was thankful to/for the Ooo Haa Adventure Tour.

Fantastic Experience, definitely recommend

Fantastic experience. Communication was Good. Our Driver was amazing. He told us so much information about Semenggoh and Kuching. We saw two Orangutans, they came so close to us. Definitely worth the money

Our first look at orangutans and being so close. Please keep protecting the orangutans, they’re such intelligent beings.
