Overview
The Semenggoh Orangutans & Annah Rais Longhouse Day Tour offers a well-balanced introduction to Sarawak’s wildlife conservation efforts and indigenous heritage in a single day. The tour begins with a visit to Semenggoh Wildlife Centre, a protected forest reserve where rescued orangutans are rehabilitated and gradually reintroduced to life in the wild. A short walk through the forest leads to the feeding area, where visitors may have the opportunity to observe semi-wild orangutans as they emerge from the surrounding rainforest during scheduled feeding times, depending on natural conditions.
The journey continues to Annah Rais, a traditional Bidayuh longhouse set amidst rural surroundings outside Kuching. Here, guests gain insight into Bidayuh architecture, customs, and community life, including a visit to the Baruk, the longhouse’s ceremonial and defensive structure. Guided throughout and paced comfortably, this half-day tour is ideal for travellers seeking an educational and culturally respectful experience, combining wildlife conservation and indigenous traditions without the need for long travel or physical exertion.
