Semengoh is an orang-utan rehabilitation centre. These are orang-utans rescued from captivity and living semi-wild. Don't visit it on a tour as you'll be sharing your orang-utan time with loads of other tourists. Get the bus out between feeding times when you'll be there on your own and still have the opportunity to see the animals. We thought we'd made a terrible mistake missing the morning feeding time, but then had a few hours just us, the orang-utans and the rangers before the hordes arrived for the afternoon feeding time. Fantastic!
Get the bus 6/6A/6B/6C from the Kuching bus station and get off at the Forestry Department Botanical Research Centre. Last bus back is at 1700 - if you miss this you're walking
