Phnom Penh to Siem Reap Birding Tour
Phnom Penh to Siem Reap Birding Tour offers a private, one-day transit whilst seeing two of Cambodia's most significant bird species. Cambodian Tailorbird is one of two true endemic species in Cambodia that we will visit just outside of Phnom Penh. Bengal Florican is the world's most endangered bustard species that can be viewed in a location just outside of Kampong Thom where 70% of the remaining population can be found.
