ITINERARY

Semenggoh Orangutan centre, for over 30 years, the warden here trained the young orangutan who had been orphaned or rescued from captivity, on how to survive in the wild. The success of this program has left the surrounding forest reserve with a thriving population of healthy adolescent and young adult orangutans, who are now breeding in the wild. The programme has been transferred to Matang wildlife centre, but Semenggoh is still the home to its successful graduates, semi-wild orangutans and their babies. They spend most of their time roaming the forest but frequently come back to the centre for free meals.

​

Although the Orangutan  are wild again there is still need for supplementary feeding for the reason that the food trees in Semenggoh forest are not able to cater for them to the required level for satisfactory well-being. The Orangutans at Semenggoh are so used to the keepers since their rehabilitation days and the daily visitors that they are not shy at all. But do not let their casualness deceive you, they are still wild animals and can still be unpredictable in nature. So, be aware, Keep your distance and keep safe.

​

After the observation of the Orangutans feeding which is at  9.00 - 10.00am, tour proceed  back to Kuching via the same way with drop off at the respective hotel.
