Cambodia Nature & Wildlife Tours

Apart from the awe-inspiring temples and rich cultural heritage, Cambodia boasts a plethora of natural wonders waiting to be explored. From the mighty Mekong, which feeds life to a large portion of the country, to tropical paradises along the coastline teeming with marine life, from the waterfalls and gentle giants of the northeast to the birdlife and mountain ranges in the west, Cambodia offers an array of nature experiences that captivate outdoor enthusiasts and adventure seekers.

Located in southwestern Cambodia, the Cardamom Mountains, extending along eight provinces from Kampot to Pailin, are a haven for nature lovers. This vast and relatively untouched region is home to dense rainforests, sparkling rivers, and an incredible variety of plant and animal species. Comprising an extensive system of national parks and protected areas providing a vital haven for a vast variety of wildlife, the Cardamom Mountains are the ideal place to embark on a trekking expedition, discover hidden waterfalls, encounter exotic wildlife such as gibbons and macaques, and witness the extraordinary biodiversity that thrives in this pristine wilderness.

Venture to Mondulkiri for a refreshing escape to a region featuring vast jungles, beautiful rainforests, majestic rivers, and stunning waterfalls. On top of the list is Bousra Waterfall, which is located in Bousra Eco Park and surrounded by lush jungle as well as breath-taking views. Its cascading waters plunge into a deep pool, creating an oasis ideal for cooling down on a hot day. Indulge in a truly unique experience at the Elephant Valley Project, a sanctuary for rescued and retired elephants. This is an ethical project that works closely with the local Bunong community to ensure mutual benefits for both the elephants and the indigenous inhabitants.

As an off-the-beaten-track destination, Ratanakiri is the place to get an insight into the lives and culture of minority groups, trek through the national parks, and head out on camping safaris, spotting unique wildlife along the way. The small town of Ban Lung, the provincial capital, is located near almost all spectacular natural attractions and is the best base to explore the area. Peruse Yeak Laom Lake, lying in the crater of an extinct volcano ringed in by a beautiful forest in a protected area of the Tampuen community. Take a circle walk around the lake and even take a dip in its clear waters for a harmonious refreshment with nature. Embark on a trekking adventure in Virachey National Park, one of the largest protected forests in Asia. Covering 3,325 square km, the park boasts semi-evergreen lowlands, cloud forests, upland svannahs, bamboo thickets, and occasional patches of mixed deciduous forest. It is home to a wide range of plant and animal species, including Asian elephants, gibbons, tigers, and sun bears. The park offers many opportunities for trekking and outdoor activities, including hiking, camping, and bird watching.
