Semenggoh Orangutan & Annah Rais Bidayuh Longhouse

Get ready for an adventure-packed day starting with a hotel pick-up. We’ll whisk you away to the Semenggoh Wildlife Centre, just 24 kilometers from Kuching’s bustling center. Here, you’ll step into a world of semi-wild orangutans thriving in their natural habitat. This isn’t just any sanctuary; it’s a place of transformation where orphaned or rescued orangutans are trained to reclaim their wild roots. Picture over 20 majestic orangutans swinging through the lush forest, occasionally returning to the centre for a delicious meal. You’ll witness this spectacle firsthand from a natural amphitheater, getting up close as these incredible creatures make their graceful descent for feeding time.

But the excitement doesn’t end there! We’ll journey by road for about 30 minutes to the enchanting Anah Rais longhouse village nestled in the heart of Padawan District. As you arrive, immerse yourself in the rich culture of the Land Dayaks, once fierce headhunters now renowned for their warm hospitality. Wander through this serene village nestled by a picturesque stream, and don’t miss the chance to peek into their baruk, where remnants of their adventurous past are displayed, including ancient skulls.

To top it off, savor the flavors of local delights and perhaps sip on a glass of exquisite local wine before indulging in a sumptuous lunch. Finally, as the day winds down, we’ll escort you back to your hotel in Kuching, leaving you with memories of a day filled with wildlife encounters, cultural exploration, and delightful culinary experiences.
