Semenggoh & Sarawak Cultural Village

Semengoh Wildlife Centre located a short drive from the centre of the city. The aims of the centre are to rehabilitate confiscated wildlife which has been incapacitated or handicapped due to prolonged captivity by humans, with the objective of eventually releasing them to the forests; to conduct research on wildlife and captive breeding, particularly on endangered and game species for small scale farming; and to serve as an education centre for wildlife conservation for students, trainee teachers and the general public. 

Get acquainted with what makes Sarawak truly unique, the cultural diversity. 24KM from Kuching City marks the Sarawak Cultural Village, an award winning ‘living’ museum spread over a 17 acre site at the foothills of Mount Santubong.

Here you will get a glimpse of the tribal lifestyles lived by the many ethnic groups that lace the beautiful Land of Hornbills, Sarawak. There are about 150 people living in the village, demonstrating traditional daily activities for you to experience the arts, crafts, games and delicacies of the 7 major ethnic groups. Behold the architectural heritage that represents these ethnic groups; Longhouses of Iban, Bidayuh and Orang Ulu and the Melanau tall-house.

You will be treated to a vibrant multi-cultural dance performance in the village’s own theatre.
