Wild Temples and Critical Wildlife

This overnight safari camping tour brings together pre-Angkorian culture at mysterious outlying forest temples, and Cambodia’s most Critically Endangered wildlife. We take you from the wildlife and history of the outlying deserted temples to the depths of the Northern Plains to our world famous Vulture Restaurant deep in a remote wildlife sanctuary, an essential community based conservation project keeping 3 species of Vultures alive in South East Asia.
