Tmat Boey Giant Ibis Experience
Experience Giant Ibis and other incredible bird species in the heartland of Cambodia’s Northern Plain.
With less than 300 mature Giant Ibis left in the wild, you can now see one of the world's rarest birds in the location with the highest rate of viewing success. Brought back from the brink of extinction in the mid-2000’s, Giant Ibis represents Cambodia as the country's national bird as well as a continuing conservation effort. SVC works with the community in Tmat Boey, SVC’s flagship site, to ensure a 90% viewing success rate of Giant Ibis. Other spectacular species in this trip include critically endangered species such as the White-shouldered Ibis and Bengal Florican.
