Kuching & Sarawak

Borneo’s friendliest city, orangutans at Semenggoh and proboscis monkeys in Bako’s mangroves.

Kuching is the easy way into Borneo, a relaxed riverside city of Chinese temples, a White Rajahs’ fort and a food scene of its own. Orangutans come to feed at the Semenggoh reserve half an hour away, and a boat reaches Bako, the oldest national park in Sarawak, where proboscis monkeys live in the mangroves and trails lead to sea stacks and pitcher plants.
