Wildlife Tours in Cambodia

Wildlife tours in Cambodia take you to the heart of Southeast Asia. This is a world of fascinating habitats and wonderful animals. Multi-day guided birding trips can be arranged to the plains and freshwater wetlands of northern Cambodia. That is where you find the Giant Ibis, the country’s national bird – a great species to add to your list. Or you can take a wildlife tour to Cambodia’s Cardamom Mountains in the south. This is the home of the endemic Cambodian Laughingthrush.

If you prefer day trips to a complete wildlife holiday in Cambodia, there are still wonderful experiences to be had. Sightings of Oriental Darters and Painted Stork along the famous Mekong River, for instance. Or a boat ride at the Kampi Pools to find Irrawaddy Dolphins.

Longer wildlife tours in Cambodia can allow time to also visit some of the country’s world-renowned historical sites. Among these are the temples of Angkor Wat and Phnom Kulen. Early morning birdwatching trips on the Tonie Sap floodplain yield a wealth of waterbirds. These trips can be followed by guided tours around the sacred ancient ruins.

In the same area, you can visit the Ankor Center for Biodiversity and Conservation. This is where animals rescued from illegal hunting activities are rehabilitated and returned to the wild. It’s a chance to see animals close up that would normally be too shy to show themselves.

Alternatively, your longer Cambodian wildlife holiday can take you to the Eastern Plains. There you will find a richly biodiverse landscape where Asian elephants roam. The endangered Black-shanked Douc Langur also lives here, in the largest stretch of native forest in Southeast Asia.
