The OrangUtan enjoy the fruits during feeding time that is at 09:00am & 03:00pm daily.

Located 20 km away from Kuching, the Semenggoh Orang-Utan Rehabilitation Center is a sanctuary for the endangered Orang-Utans, Southeast Asia’s only great ape species that are gentle and shy in disposition.

Most of the time, these primates forage among the trees in private but do come out during the feeding times in the park. Visitors can then observe the behaviours and emotions of these ‘Men in the Forest’, which is what their name means in English. Feeding times are held every 0900 hrs and 1500 hours.

The tourist enjoy the visit .Just E-Mail me (uncleawang@gmail.com) I would be happy to bring you there but in small group as I drive only small compact car .

The sanctuary is just a 30-minute drive away from, Kuching City. In the sanctuary young orang utans that are either orphaned of rescued from captivity are trained to survive in the wild wilderness.

The Semmengoh Orang Utan sanctuary gives you the perfect opportunity to see these magnificent creatures up close especially during their feeding time.

Semmengoh is a forest area where orangutans are released to the wild having been rescued from captivity. Food is put out twice a day to help the orangutans survive - they have neither the skills nor a large enough area to do without help. Sometimes in the fruiting season they do not turn up at feeding times but usually a loud call from the reserve staff will bring them to a feeding platform in front of a gathering of gawping tourists.
