Make sure to register before entering. Just a reminder that this is a wildlife centre, not a zoo, so sightings are never guaranteed. During fruit season (around November to March), the chances of seeing orangutans are quite slim as they can find food easily in the forest. Entrance fee is reasonable. Even if the orangutans don’t show up, the place is still worth visiting for the fresh air and relaxing sounds of nature. A peaceful experience overall.

Visited on 17.12.2025 afternoon. No orangutan appeared for feeding at the viewing platform. Staff did highlight that orangutan did not appear for days before we purchased the entrance tickets. There’s a small gallery and some interesting information on display as well. Do understand that this is a wildlife center and not a zoo, and there is a chance that orangutan may not appear. Avoid fruiting season (Nov-Mar) for a higher chance of spotting orangutans.

This was a very nice trip for the morning. We came early on a weekday, reaching around 825am. We got a rental car and there was parking right in front of the entrance. Once you get there, you just need to register on a QR code (need name, IC/passport, phone number). Once you have registered on your phone, you will then scan the given QR code and buy the tickets. Malaysians get the ticket for RM5 and the buggy ride for RM10. Cost more for foreigners. Do ensure you have phone data to do the registration if not register prior to coming (need to know the date and timing of visit). Once we got our tickets, it was a short walk to the buggy and we got a 3-5 minutes ride to the viewing platform. The buggy pick up and drop off is still a 2-3 mins walk from the viewing platform but if mobility is a slight issue, they are happy to drive you all the way in. We were extremely lucky to have 3 orang utans coming to the viewing platform 10 mins before the feeding time. We saw an alpha male which was huge and 2 others. The staff were all friendly and happy to give a running commentary that was quite humorous. This was indeed a fun morning but I guess it depends if the orang utans come out to play.
