Matang Wildlife Centre
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.
