Semenggoh Wildlife Centre

#kuchingitinerary
Semenggoh Wildlife Centre is a heartwarming and educational experience just a short drive from Kuching. It’s best known for its successful rehabilitation program for orphaned and injured orangutans. Unlike a zoo, Semenggoh provides a semi-wild environment where the orangutans roam freely within the reserve. Visitors have the opportunity to witness these magnificent creatures during their scheduled feeding times, especially in the early morning or afternoon. The sight of an adult orangutan swinging down from the trees or cradling a baby is unforgettable and often leaves visitors deeply moved. Park rangers offer insightful talks about the conservation efforts and the individual stories of the resident orangutans. The center emphasizes responsible wildlife tourism, discouraging human contact and ensuring the animals remain as wild as possible. If you're interested in ethical animal encounters while in Kuching, Semenggoh is a highly rewarding stop.
