The Matang
Wildlife Centre is about 35km from Kuching. Located in
Kubah National Park, this large enclosed area of
rainforest is home to endangered wildlife. There is a
training programme here that teaches Orang Utans, who
have been orphaned or rescued from captivity, how to
survive in the wild. Visitors will be able to see lots
of Orang Utans here, especially during feeding time.
Besides these adorable primates, there are also Sun
Bears, Sambar Deer, Civet cats as well as three large
aviaries that house Sea Eagles, Hornbills and other
birds in Sarawak.
Jungle
trekking is also possible as there are four jungle
trails here, the Pitcher Trail (takes about 2 hours),
the Sungai Rayu Trail ( about 3 - 4 hours), the Sungai
Senduk trail (about 1 hour) and Sungai Buluh trail
(about 2 hours). Picnic spots, an information centre,
accommodation facilities, a car park and a small canteen
are available at the park HQ.
