Matang Wildlife Centre
Pusat Hidupan Liar Matang
A wildlife rescue center inside Kubah National Park, known for orangutan rehabilitation training, with volunteer programs available.
The Matang Wildlife Centre is located in the western part of Kubah National Park. It mainly takes in and rehabilitates confiscated pets and injured wild animals, including orangutans, sun bears, gibbons, hornbills and crocodiles. Unlike Semenggoh, the animals here live in large enclosures, and visitors watch them from trails. It is a good place to learn about conservation work. You can also sign up for volunteer programs lasting from several days to several weeks. Admission is about RM 20 for foreign visitors. The center is about 35 km from Kuching, has no public transport, and requires a taxi or a chartered car.
