Semonggoh Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre Tour from Kuching

The best place in Sarawak to view semi-wild orangutans, who have been rescued from captivity and trained to survive in the surrounding forest reserve.

The rehabilitated animals roam freely in the rain forest, and often return to the centre at feeding time. Thanks to the successful breeding programme at Semonggoh there is a good possibility of experiencing one of the most heart-warming sights in Borneo - an orangutan mother with a young baby.

The centre is a 30 minute drive from Kuching and another 20 minute by foot into the jungle. Along the way visitors pass by the ethno-botanical gardens, with their unique collection of rain-forest plants.

Semonggoh also has a number of short jungle trails and optional forest walks that can be incorporated into the tour.
