The Semengoh Orangutan Centre is located about 45 minutes drive south of Kuching.

The centre was established in 1975 as a place to rehabilitate injured, orphaned and captive Orangutans.

The centre is nestled within a secluded forest reserve into which these beautiful creatures are encouraged to venture and reconnect with their natural being.

They are released for short periods initially, which are increased until they have mastered their ability to live independently in the wild.

Occasionally during dry seasons when forest foods are scarce, rehabilitated Orangutans reemerge from the forest, much to the joy of their former keepers.

The orangutans gather to feed close to the viewing platforms twice daily from 9am until 10am and in the afternoons at 3pm. Outside feeding times it can be difficult to see them. The centre also acts as an education, research and breeding centre.

There are several picturesque walking tracks through the sanctuary, as well as visitor centre and gift shop.
