8:30am meet our guide/driver at lobby hotel (within city area). We proceed directly to Semenggoh Wildlife Nature Reserve.

The Semenggoh Wildlife Nature Reserve Centre is located about 22km from Kuching. It is the only one of its kind in Sarawak. Set up in 1975, this 740 hectare of virgin forest is home to orang utans, honey bears, hornbills, porcupines, storks, eagles, barking deer and monkeys. Most of these animals were rescued from captivity and are being rehabilitated here in their natural surroundings. 

To get to the center involves a 30 - minutes’ drive by car from the city. From there, tourists will take a buggy transport within the park or they can take a 1.6km walk (20 minutes) which snakes through lush tropical rainforest to reach the feeding area. This tour provides an opportunity of a lifetime to observe how the orang utans are being rehabilitated and trained to fend for themselves before being released into the wild. Visitors are allowed to study observe and take pictures of the orang utans at a distance before returning to the hotel.
