Semenggoh Orangutan Sanctuary, Sarawak

The Semenggoh Wildlife Centre near Kuching is the closest and most accessible orangutan sanctuary in Sarawak, where semi-wild individuals ranging from mothers with infants to massive dominant males come to supplementary feeding platforms in a forest setting that feels genuinely wild. Watching a large male swing through the forest canopy towards the feeding area is a heart-stopping encounter available a 30-minute taxi ride from Kuching.
