We must have been there on a good day, we saw at least 15 orangutans coming in to get food from the station. They were active and interesting to watch. We also saw a mother and baby near the parking lot.

Very nice place and wonderful to see the Orangutans in their natural habitat. The rangers are all incredibly friendly and attentive and answer all your questions brilliantly! Would definitely recommend this over Sepilok, in Sabah.

The orangutans here have been reintroduced to a natural area near Kuching. There is a good chance of seeing some at the feeding area, depending on the season. If there is food available in the forest then they are less likely to come. Easy to find, and a reasonable entrance fee.

The layout enables a close experience and the first feeding platform is only 15-20 metres from the main area. There is a 10min walk... More

This "rehabilitation" center has been turned into a tourist attraction where the orang-outans are paraded twice a day as circus animals in front of large groups of tourists. All of the gardens and trails around the park have now been closed. You only have access to the small feeding area, where the rangers will brief you on what to do... More

great effort to keep the population. you can come close to them without cage between you and the primate.
