To get there: Kubah is only 21 km from Kuching while the Matang Wildlife
Center is 35 km from town. Travel agents can arrange tours to the park,
or take Matang Transport Co. bus No. 11 or a local mini-bus.
Bus 11 passes the Kubah Park headquarters but it does not go all the way
to Matang Wildlife Center.
If you are heading to Matang Wildlife Center ask to be dropped off at
the turning for the Polytechnic. You may be in for a long wait for
regular bus services to the Wildlife Center have yet to be put in place.
Local mini-buses (bas sewa) serve the villages in the Matang area but
the service is irregular. If fate should smile on you and you do see a
small white bas sewa, flag it down and ask the driver to drop you off at
the Center. The only other alternative is to try and hitch a ride. The
one-way taxi fare is RM 30-35 - negotiate a ‘wait and return fare or
arrange a pick up time. Alternatively, local tour operators run day
trips to both the National Park and the Wildlife Center.
