Semengoh Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre - getting there
| packages & accommodation ...
By air - point of entry is Kuching airport, Sarawak. If you're coming over from Kuala Lumpur, then there are 2 choices, Malaysia Airlines ; www.malaysia-airlines.com and Air Asia ; www.airasia.com . For Malaysians travelling to Sarawak, don't forget to bring your I.C. (identity cards with you.) and to fill in the disembarkation form.
By bus - From Kuching city, it's a 45min drive south to the centre. You can either take the STC
(Sarawak Transport Company) bus No 6, 6A, 6B, or 6C from opposite the Public Bank in town, on Jalan Tun Abang Haji Openg. That costs about RM2 per person per way. Tell the bus driver you wish to be dropped off at the Semengoh Rehab Centre and the bus will stop you at the gates. Give yourself another 30minutes for the stroll from the gates to the centre.
By minivan - Sometimes, if they have no passengers, the driver may be obliged to take you to the centre for only RM4 per person per way. But then, you may have to negotiate the price with them and make sure they agree to it before hopping into the van. The plus side to the van is that they can drive all the way into the centre's parking area which saves you the time for the 30min walk to the centre from the gates. And if you want them to wait for you, just let them know but pay for the returning trip only when you leave the centre.
By taxi - it's about RM30 per way per taxi.
Once you get to the gates, you will be required to purchase an entry permit for RM3 per person.
