Orang Utan Sanctuary Semenggoh (0800 hrs – 1230 hrs)
The best place in Sarawak to view semi-wild orang utans, 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 Semenggoh 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 30 mins drive from Kuching and another 20 mins on foot.
Along the way visitors pass by the ethno-botanical gardens with their unique collection of rain-forest plants. Semenggoh also has a number of short collection of rain-forest plants. After the visit we will proceed to the Sarawak Pottery Factory for a short visit before going for lunch at a local restaurant.
