Off to Semenggok today to track some Orang Utan. Big day and the main reason for visiting Borneo. There are only two places in the world where Orang Utans can be found – Borneo and Sumatra. Semenggok occupies 740 acres and is a temporary home for displaced Orang Utans before they are let back into the wild. It’s essentially wild rainforest where they relearn the skills needed to survive in the wild. Saffi our guide picked us up after an early breakfast to arrive for feeding time at 9am. Feeding time lasts for an hour – we waited, and waited and waited but no hungry OUs – what a disappointment! Travelled to Batang Ai, a bit of fishing and a visit to a tribe of head-hunters to look forward to tomorrow though!
