Kubah National Park & Matang Wildlife Day Trip
Matang Wildlife Centre, situated approximately 35 kilometers from Kuching, is part of Kubah National Park and serves as a sanctuary for endangered species. The centre provides large, enclosed areas of rainforest and spacious cages, allowing these animals to thrive in a more natural environment. An informative centre with educational program in the sanctuary offers visitors the opportunity to learn about wildlife conservation. The highlight of the trip is focused on the Orang Utan training program, where these endangered species are rehabilitated and taught survival skills to help them adapt to live in the wild before being released back into the forest. Other animals found here include saltwater and freshwater crocodiles, pheasants, sun bears, civets, bearcats, macaques, gibbons, porcupines, deer, and various species of birds.
Feeding times: 9am & 3pm
Head over to Kubah National Park and embark on the Main Trail from the Park HQ (approximately 1–1.5 hours) to connect with the Waterfall Trail. This moderately challenging trek leads through lush, wet rainforest with steep and slippery sections. The trail steadily descends from the summit road into the Rayu River valley, you’ll notice a dramatic change in the vegetation, with the air becoming noticeably more humid and damper. The trail crosses several creeks — keep an eye out for otters, frogs, and birds along the way. Eventually, you’ll reach the stunning waterfall, a wide curtain of water which falls 10 meters down a sheer sandstone wall, onto a granite slab and into a small, clear pebbly pool—perfect for a refreshing dip. Another smaller waterfall flows into the left side of the pool and you may catch sight of black-spotted rock frogs in this area and along the riverbank, known for their impressive leaps. Lunch is provided.
Remark: Trails may be slippery and leeches are common in the park
