Semengogh Orangutans

We wake up all excited as this morning we are about to see Orangutans for the first time in the wild. I have a little wobble because we almost miss the bus which would have meant missing it altogether but we arrive inh Semengogh Orangutan Rehabilitation Center after our first Malaysian bus ride.. not looking forward to indo if it was this bad here..

Now this park is a rehabilitation center but it is still wild as they do not see the orangutan for months on end even though there is a daily feeding time. There isd enough food in the jungle to sustain them all. On the day we went the mother we saw had not been seen for over 3 years.

We were greeted by this young male who put on a display for us before we went to the main feeding area of the reserve. When we arrived the abovementioned mother was there with newborn baby eating the fruit they had on the buffet. It was amazing to see them but after a couple moments i dropped to the floor as it sounded like we had come under AK-47 fire, I looked around to see the RUF fighters but only saw Celia and about 5 others snapping away furiously at their cameras, i brought myself to my feet again and began to enjoy the lazy yet powerful way they move around. We managed to see another mother and baby before we had to leave after the hour's visit. We had seen enough and left with biiig smiles on our faces talking about the photos the entire bumpy trip home.
