Semenggoh Wildlife Centre

Semenggoh Wildlife Centre is a wildlife rehabilitation centre located within the Semenggoh Nature Reserve, about 24 kilometres south of Kuching in Sarawak, Malaysia. Established in 1964, it is renowned as a sanctuary for rescued and orphaned Bornean orangutans undergoing rehabilitation for return to the wild. The centre operates semi-wild feeding programmes in lowland rainforest, offering visitors a chance to observe orangutans and other wildlife in a protected natural habitat managed by Sarawak Forestry Corporation.

Visitors can expect a lowland rainforest setting with designated trails, viewing platforms and feeding areas managed by rangers. The main experience is observing semi-wild Bornean orangutans during scheduled feeding sessions, along with other wildlife such as long-tailed macaques, giant squirrels and diverse birdlife. The centre includes a visitor information area, interpretive displays, and forested walks within the nature reserve. Sightings are not guaranteed as orangutans roam freely.

Established in 1964 as an orangutan rehabilitation centre within Semenggoh Nature Reserve, which was originally gazetted as a forest reserve in 1920. It has served as Sarawak's primary centre for rehabilitating orphaned, injured and rescued Bornean orangutans for reintroduction to the wild, managed by Sarawak Forestry Corporation.

Represents Sarawak's long-standing conservation efforts for the endangered Bornean orangutan and serves as an educational centre promoting wildlife protection, rainforest conservation and public awareness of endangered species.
