For over 20 years, the wardens here trained young Orang Utans, who had been orphaned or rescued from captivity on how to survive in the wild. The success of this program has left the surrounding forest reserve with a thriving population of healthy adolescent and young adult Orang Utans, who are now breeding in the wild.

The program has been transferred to Matang Wildlife Centre but Semenggoh is still home to its successful graduates, semi-wild Orang Utans with their babies. They spend most of their time roaming the forest but frequently come back to the Centre for a free meal. If it is the fruiting season in the forest, some or even all of them may not come to feed. This in itself is a good sign and another step on the way to full rehabilitation.
The best time to visit Semenggoh is during the morning and afternoon feeding sessions when there is a good chance of seeing the semi-wild Orang Utan. Feeding time is at 1000 hours and 1500 hours.
The Centre was established in 1975.
