Stop At: Semenggoh Nature Reserve, Jalan Tun Abang Haji Openg, Kuching 93000 Malaysia

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.

We were so lucky to see so many Orangutans… it can be a hit or a miss. Kuching is a beautiful city and I recommend a visit to this park while you are there

Very disappointing visit. Whilst there is no guarantee of seeing the gorgeous orangutans we sit through a 20 minute briefing on the do’s and dont’s and then it falls flat because no orangutan in site. Having been to Sepilok we felt this was a waste of time and money. All there was, was a small presentation video room and a few photos - not even a shop to buy stuff, though there was a stall seller in car park. They should make this a more interesting centre if you are unable to see an orangutan. Felt so flat and will not go again.

From the minute Rick picked us up to the second he returned us to our hotel, he was a mind of information. History of Sarawak, places to see, I do about places we passed and then semenggoh it's self, telling us all about the park the different orang utans. We had the most amazing experience of seeing 2 in 2 different areas. The main area where we watched ganya playing in the trees and the ropes on the way to the feeding area. Finally Anuar the 2nd alpha male came down just as we were leaving . Worth a life time of memories.

Prior the the tour, I was given clear communications via whatsapp from the organiser (Edwin) in to know what to expect in terms of tour joining instructions. This efficiency was much appreciated. We were picked up from our hotel by our guide (Antoni) exactly on time and driven to the centre, with interesting information on the background of the centre and Kuching itself given to us along the way by Antoni. We were given clear instructions on what to expect from the morning and how to behave (e.g. to not make noise to disturb the orang utans). At the centre we were driven up to the feeding centre in electric buggies, saving a long hot walk and ensuring we got there in time for the morning feeding session which maximised our chances of seeing the orang utans. Antoni accompanied us throughout the tour, and the park rangers were also very much present at the centre itself. Whilst it cannot be guaranteed that orang utans will be seen on any particular occasion, we were lucky enough to see 6 in total, in 2 feeding locations. All in all it was a successful and enjoyable trip.
