- Sandra G2 contributionsWe were lucky enough to see some orangutans even during fruiting season. Very lively explanation of the ranger. Putty the trails are no longer accessible, but understandable for safety reasons.Written 25 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Celeste FDallas, TX36 contributionsBako exceeded our wildlife sighting expectations. We came across wild boars, proboscis monkeys, silvered leaf monkeys, and all sorts of interesting sealife. The only disappointing aspect of the trip was all the plastic trash washed up on the park beaches. It’s so depressing to see.Written 1 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- James NKuching, Malaysia2,322 contributionsMt. Santubong is the highest mountain one can climb located nearest to Kuching. Located in a national park, one needs to register with the Sarawak Forestry Corporation office prior to the climb. The track is almost four kilometers long and the summit can be reached within less than three hours. It is considered as tough but with some preparations, most can reach the summit with little problems.Written 12 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Linda CToronto, Canada92 contributionsFor me, getting to the longhouse was the best part. Myself and a fellow traveller hired a driver/guide to do a day tour including Semenggoh Nature Reserve and two long houses. Annah Rais was interesting to see, people seemed friendly considering the volume of tourists they must normally see (tourism way down because of COVID, few weeks before lockdown). The drive to Annah Rais was beautiful, the highlight of the day. We made many stops to explore and take photos along the way.Written 11 January 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- YH15 contributionsIt is more than just orangutan - sun bears, crocodiles, bearcats, hornbills, porcupine, deer. This centre strives to give its wildlife residents a happy life and it is worth more than the entrance fee just to see the antics of the orangutan. Add in the rest of the residents and you have a good visit!Written 7 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
