Semenggoh wildlife rehabilitation centre, is 15 mins distance from Kuching international Airport and located at 10th mile, Padawan town district. It's among the few tourist spots in Kuching which is a must visit place for ang moh.
The entry fee is only RM3 per adult and there is a number of gardens in this ~600 hectar forest reserve park which are also opened to visit: bamboo garden, chinese herbal plant garden, palm tree garden and etc.
The orang utan rehabilitation centre is 1300 m away from the entrance gate (where we paid for our entrance ticket), and because we're so excited (especially me who never been to this place) that we walked to see orang utans, while other visitors drive their cars up. And, because the road is so steep and so many weird look from those who sitting in car along the way, i quickly realized that why we so stupid use foot to go up!! then i asked my driver tumpang an officer's motocycle (luckily that guy was passed by that time) and went to take car. While we all continue jalan jalan, and unbelievable, by the time the car reached us, i also reached the centre liao!
There are only two to four orang utans there, the officer told us that because now is raining season, most of the orang utans don't want go out to see (or entertain) visitors. But that's alright, as long as there are some orang utans. They are just like human, but the difference is they can climb the tree so easy and can use both foot and hand to grab the banana.
The orang utan swing here and there, showed us their great gymnastic skills. And the visitors, as usual, take out their camera and handphone to take photo. While i was hanging around hoping to see more orang utans, and what a surprised i saw my ex-colleagues there. They were on duty and brought some guests whom attended their organized Symposium to visit this place. And i heard, one of their guests said "What a lovely place".. lol, just happy and abit proud, though i think more orang utans should come out and should entertain us more with playing ball on trees. haha.
That's no other animals can be seen except orang utans and one caged crocodiles. So we decided to leave after this. And, we heard something very funny from a conversation btw a daddy and his son
Son: Where we going? （我们去哪里?）
daddy: We go to see monkeys, and the monkeys will buy you coffee oh!.
（我们去看猴子，猴子会请你喝咖啡哦!）
