Wildlife Alliance is a Cambodia-based conservation organization operating from Thmor Sor in Takéo Province. The organization offers guided experiences that connect visitors with wildlife rescue and rehabilitation efforts. The two main experiences available are the Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Centre Behind the Scenes Tour and the Wildlife Release Station in Koh Kong's Cardamom Mountains. Visitors on the Phnom Tamao tour gain exclusive access to areas normally closed to the public, meet rescued animals, and learn the stories behind their rescue and care. The Wildlife Release Station trip takes visitors into protected forest in the Cardamom Mountains to observe rehabilitation and release work for animals rescued from trafficking, and experience remote natural surroundings and local hospitality. Each visit supports ongoing conservation activities through entrance fees and donations, and provides educational context about wildlife trafficking and rehabilitation processes. Wildlife Alliance collaborates with rescue centres and protected area staff to coordinate safe, supervised visitor access; trained guides accompany guests to ensure animal welfare and adherence to site protocols. For travelers seeking meaningful, educational wildlife experiences in Cambodia, these trips offer close encounters with rescued animals while emphasizing responsible tourism practices. All visits are organized with attention to safety, animal welfare, and conservation impact. Wildlife Alliance’s location in Takéo Province provides convenient access to Phnom Tamao, and connections to Koh Kong for release-station visits make these programs practical options for visitors based in or traveling around southern Cambodia.
Booking details, schedules, and entry information are available through The Adventure Collective listing and centre staff.
