A unique experience - This is where our Borneo tour began. We were almost a day with our guide Joana in the park. We haven't seen any orangutans in the morning. We planted a tree with the ranger, then had a private Jungles tour, were allowed to help put together the fruit for feeding, and before the park reopened we were excitedly called to the platform, yes, then the head of the gang came swung through the trees. You don't forget that anymore. We alone with the orangutans. Only later when the park was opened did visitors come. Edwin didn't come either, as did Mina. An unforgettable day that we will remember for a long time. Just great. Thank you to everyone who tries so hard.

Thanks Wynn ! Your knowledge is invaluable - Wynn - my guide , so knowledgeable & set expectations right , from the beginning . Whether or not the orangutan shows up or not is not upto anyone . While we waited for them if at all they showed up , Wynn had so much valuable information to share which made me appreciate the species even better than I started . Luckily for me - Edwin and Dania showed up . The atmosphere was unbelievable giddy for everyone there 😀

Beautiful animals - Lovely experience , thankfully we were able to see 5 orangutans. They are so beautiful to watch in their safe environment. Apparently we were thankful to had seen so many as others hadn’t seen any during their feeding time. Magical moment to see them.

Semenggoh Nature Reserve - Our guide Eng was delightful & gave us a brief history of Kuching while we drove to Semenggoh Nature Reserve to see the Orangutans, which fortunately we did.

Many orangutans! - A great guide whose knowledge was excellent. I saw the orangutans so close and watched them appear from the jungle, feed and return. Well worth the trip!

Best way to see orangutans up close in a short trip - The guide is very knowledgeable about the centre and the individual orangutans, how they came to be there, the work of the rehab centre. It's not possible to see wild orangutans without a much longer overnight trip that hike into conservation parks, for a short trip, this is the best option. There are several viewing platforms, and the orangutans can be seen quite close up. There are plenty of opportunities to ask questions from the guide and rangers. Bring binoculars if you can -we saw orangutans in the trees feeding on figs and our generous guide lent us a pair! We thoroughly enjoyed this short trip, we learned a lot, and helped to support the work of the rehab centre.

Great, just how it should be. - Fantastic, our tour guide Wesley was very knowledgeable of all things in the area. The Orangutan's go about their life with minimal human interactions. The park supplements their diets when it’s harder to find food with in the jungle.

Fabulous Time - Our guide Kim was fantastic who looked after us on our day trip to see the Orangutans and wildlife on this typical monsoon rainy afternoon in Sarawak Walking thru the rain forest was an experience and seeing these animals in safe surroundings was 5 Star ⭐️ We were mesmerized for 2 hours watching and being told about the animals and history of the venue The venue is a tad tired in some areas and decking & seating was broken which does need some TLC but never the less the object was completed in seeing these animals Great day for animal lovers
