Write-up:

Located approximately 35 km from Kuching, the Matang Wildlife Centre lies within Kubah National Park with it's stunning mixed dipterocarp forest. Matang Wildlife Centre houses endangered animals in enclosed areas surrounded by rainforest. The main attraction is the orang utan rehabilitation programme, where young orang utans, who were either orphaned or rescued from captivity, are taught how to survive in the wild. Besides orang utans, the centre cares for a lot of other wildlife such as sambar deer, crocodiles, sun bears, porcupines, bear cats, and a few birds native to Sarawak. The clear jungle stream of Sungai Rayu is inviting to refresh in the cooling water.
