Semenggoh Nature Reserve, Sarawak, Malaysia
4.5 (3.399 reviews) Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #3 in Kuching Nature & Wildlife Areas
Great experience
Going to Semanggoh Nature Reserve was my first experience to see orangután in their natural habitat. I wasn’t sure what to expect going to a nature reserve. It was very touristy as they have two feeding times per day and only allow you to visit at those times. Suggest to arrive 30mins prior to the times advertised to be safe and arrive to the feeding area. We saw Annuar (a 24 yr old male) down on the feeding platform, who was very impressive with his large cheek pads and his long hair is gorgeous. Could easily pass for a shampoo commercial! And we saw a mother with two little ones up on the ropes. Wouldn’t been nice if everyone stayed quiet yet people kept talking which took away a little of the atmosphere, yet I was still happy with my first orangutan experience. Highly recommend if in Borneo.

I saw the king!
Beautiful reserve. Well maintained and the staff are warm and welcoming. If orangutan are seen, it is usually mothers and babies and males. Unexpectedly, even in the rain, the king of the orangutan group dropped from the trees and stayed with us for about a half hour. He is magnificent.
