During our stay in Kuching, we went to the Semenggoh Wildlife Center to see orangutans and to Bako National Park to see proboscis monkeys. In Semenggoh, we were able to meet seven orangutans, but in Bako National Park, we were not able to see any proboscis monkeys. However, the trail in Bako was fun.
