Semenggoh Orangutan Center & Sarawak Cultural Village

If you have time, I'd love to. Feeding time (with break) 8:00～10:00 15:00～16:00 We arrived around 14:10, Ticket purchase, 14:30 up the hill in a buggy To the feeding point. 14:30 - 14:45 Staff explanations are available From 14:45 to 15:15, our staff is available He summons an orangutan. Then slowly at first, Two females with one baby each. One child orangutan. 1 male orangutan. There were a total of six. I saw it. In the morning, he said he was lucky because there were three. The staff will talk to you. The staff were making mouth-churning gestures to the foreigners who were quiet. The basic thing is to wait quietly. ！ Watch out for the change. How to buy tickets and in the center I visited without knowing that there was a vehicle called a buggy. 1.Reception　 ・QR reading on desk ・Enter required information ・After inputting, move the QR screen to the charge window 2.Fee window ・10 MYR per foreign adult ・5 MYR per foreign child · 15 MYR per person for a round trip buggy for foreigners What do you do with a buggy when you pay? and I was asked by a male attendant who spoke Japanese (numbers, katakato). They told me I'd walk 20 minutes, I paid the bill including the buggy for two people without asking how much. A man outside the fare window says 50 in Japanese I said so I'll pay you MYR 50 as it is, I received 1 MYR of change. Later, a man outside the fare counter (the one with Japanese katakato) and a man at the fare counter grinned and felt that I had a nasty laugh, so I thought I was going to look into the price and found out that I was 4 MYR short of change. Admission fee for one adult. 15 MYR. 5MYR for one child admission fee 2 x 15 MYR round trip per person Total MYR 45 Payment 50 MYR Change 1 MYR 4MYR short. It was very disappointing because the contents of the animal center were great. Because of my carelessness, If you are Japanese, please be especially careful.

Mr. Don our tour guide was highly knowledgeable on everything about Sarawak History Culture Wildlife Etc. He made the day a truly educational and enlightening experience.

The Sarawak Cultural Village is absolutely worth to visit! Very nice and interesting place! Also the Semenggoh Orangutan Center, while you should be aware of the timing of when they feed the Orangutan to try to see them.

I was worried that Sarawak Cultural Village would be a place that was too contrived or exploitative...but was wowed as it really showcased Sarawak's diverse cultures beautifully, culminating in a scintillating hour-long performance. Lunch wasn't included but the food at the in-house restaurant was really good and at very fair prices. While I have seen many orangutans in zoos, seeing them in the wild at Semenggoh in the afternoon was a completely different experience. It was fascinating (and heartbreaking at times) hearing the stories of the different orangutans. Our guide Dorrita was knowledgeable about both places. Being from the Iban tribe herself, she was particularly well-placed to shed light on many aspects of tribal culture.

Our tour guide, Mas Daud was amazing. Funny, very knowledgeable and very friendly. The cultural centre was such a great experience and we were lucky to see two orangutans at Semanggoh. Simply amazing. Highly recommend this tour for everyone.

The cultural village experience was so interesting and exciting. Beautiful local lunch on top of that. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see any orangutans, our chauffeur and guide Tom was fantastic

Orangutang experience was good although a 7.30am pick up instead of 8am. Due to Company being greedy we then dropped guests back to the hotel in Kuching which meant we got to the cultural centre at 11.40am and missed the 11.30am show. Had lunch and wandered round the Cultural village which was quite good but guide was trying to make it all last and go slow because the next show was 4pm and that would mean not back into Kuching until nearly 6pm. Given we'd left the hotel at 7.30am that morning we had to miss the show.

This was a wonderful day. I had the best guide ever. My guide was Antoni. He was very knowledgeable and gave me tips on how to take pics of the Orangutans. he made sure I was in the right place to see them when they come to feed. I got great pictures. When we went to the Culture Center, he explained all of the exhibits in each of the houses, and told me about his childhood experiences using many of the tools that we saw. I highly recommend this experience and I hope you get Antoni as your guide. Also he is a great picture taker!!

Great day out. The village was lovely and our guide very friendly and informative. We were lucky to see an orangutan at feeding time - apparently this is always the case and we hadn’t appreciated we were only at the park fir feeding time.

We had a lovely time on this tour - great way to get a brief understanding of the Sarawak Native Culture. Mr kent, our guide, was very informative and attentive. He explained us the tribal rituals and characteristics well. Dont miss the performance at the end. We were also lucky to see a mother Chimpanzee and her two babies at the Orangutan center but not much to explore there otherwise
