ABOUT SEMENGGOH ORANGUTAN REHABILITATION CENTRE:
Semenggoh Wildlife Centre is the largest Orangutan sanctuary in Sarawak (Southern part of Malaysian Borneo). It is one of the few places in the world where you can see Orangutans in a semi-wild environment. A unique experience!
The park, that is more than 700 hectares in size, is home to a total of around 30 orangutans, all varying in age. They can roam freely through the park and will be placed back into the wild once they are ready.
The orangutans are fed twice a day, around 9:00 am and around 3:00 pm. During feeding times, you’ll have the greatest chance of spotting the animals, as they will descend from the trees and head to the special feeding areas.
Semenggoh is located about 24 kilometers from Kuching city, and can easily be reached by bus, taxi or car. The center is open every day from 8.00 am to 12.30 pm and from 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm.
A visit to Semenggoh Wildlife Centre should definitely be on your Borneo Trip Itinerary!

???? Semenggoh Wildlife Centre Kuching - Meet Orang Utan Ritchie
Semenggoh Wildlife Centre is located at Semenggoh, 13th mile Jalan Puncak Borneo, Kuching, Sarawak. It is around 40 minutes drive from the city centre.
It is a natural reserve with many different type of flora and fauna, including many rare bird species and the famous ground for Orang Utans.
The best time to visit Semenggoh is during the morning and afternoon feeding sessions when there is a good chance of seeing semi-wild orang utan returning to the Centre for a free meal.
Feeding takes place between 9.00-10.00am and between 3.00-3.30 pm.
Although there are many Orang Utan in the Reserve, but they don't come out everytime. Since they are semi-wild, you can't force them to appear. You will be in luck if Orang Utan came out for feeding at your first visit.
During this visit we are lucky to meet the dominant (alpha) male Orang Utan - Ritchie. Ritchie is the boss of the 26 orangutans living in the reserve.

???? SEMENGGOH ORANG UTAN CENTRE | Kuching, Borneo, Malaysia
One of the most famous attractions in Kuching on Borneo is the Semenggoh Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre. It’s just 20-30 minutes outside the city and you can easily go there by bus or by a Grab Taxi. So it’s perfect for a short day trip.
Like the name says, it’s a rehabilitation centre for orangutans but what makes it special is that the orangutans are not in cages, but live completely free in the jungle. They are raised in Semenggoh and then let free. So they only come there to get some food and see what this weird human crowds are doing there ;-)
On my trip I saw a baby orangutan and his mother at first. That was a very nice experience but I wanted to see more. So I went back to Semenggoh in the afternoon and saw some bigger orangutans, which was even better as they came pretty close.
Overall a visit to the Semenggoh Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre is a nice experience and can definitely recommend the trip to everyone who goes to Kuching!

Semenggoh Orangutan Centre, Kuching, Sarawak
Semenggoh Nature Reserve in Sarawak, Malaysia is an excellent place to see semi-wild orangutans. An orangutan centre was set up in 1975 to care for wild animals that had been found injured, orphaned or kept as illegal pets. Today over 20 orangutans that have been successfully rehabilitated roam free in the surrounding forest reserve. The orangutans often return to the centre at feeding times, providing visitors with unique wildlife watching experiences. Borneo Adventure operate regular tours to Semenggoh, if you want to get up close with orangutans, email us on info@borneoadventure.com.

Ben Fogle's Sarawak Adventures - Matang Wildlife Centre
Join adventurer and explorer Ben Fogle as he visits orangutans at the Matang Wildlife Centre in Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. Matang is located close to Sarawak's capital city, Kuching, and is one of the most beautiful rainforest regions on the planet according to Ben. It is fascinating to watch Ben being taught how to look after young orangutans -- the Centre has a tiered system of teaching the orangutans the skills they need to live back in the wild, one day at a time. The Heart To Heart Foundation runs several different eco-tourism programmes which involve members of the public and our film shows Ben helping feed the orangutans. At the end of his visit, Ben receives his certificate and T-shirt for all his efforts. Visiting Matang is definitely a must do activity when visiting Sarawak. Sarawak offers unforgettable travel experiences. Visitors can see amazing wildlife, trek through the rainforest, swim and dive in crystal clear waters as well as enjoying superb local cuisine and accommodation.
