Silversea Luxury Cruises A Kuching, Sarawak

Utterly devoted to the four-legged felines you'll find statues rising up across the city. The curvacious river is Kuching's lifeblood and a great way to get to know the lay of the land. Head out on a traditional brightly-painted wooden sampan to sail between the city's magnificent sprinkling of glorious minarets and temples standing on the river's banks. Trek out into the jungle to discover the crafts and arts of Sarawak's ethnic groups as well as gory headhunter history. There's no doubt about it however the orangutans of Semenggoh Nature Centre are the stars of the show - and this rainforest is one of the few places where endangered orangutans exist in the semi-wild. You may have to be patient - and it's not guaranteed that they will appear - but hearing the rustle of leaves and seeing the blur of orange in the greenery is a once in a lifetime experience. National parks nearby are also home to proboscis monkeys hidden beaches and exotic plant life.
