About
Leave the beaten path, follow the local sandy trails and enter our protected forest where animals are being returned to the wild! We are proud to invite you to stay at our Wildlife Release Station in the Cardamom Mountains, one of our primary release sites for animals rescued from the illegal wildlife trafficking trade in Cambodia.
This is not a 5-star resort or zoo experience, but a true escape to nature! We promise fresh air, a quiet remote location to relax, beautiful forest and rain fed streams to explore. While you won’t see tigers or elephants, we offer the chance to see some of Cambodia’s other unique wildlife up close before their release, an insight into the workings of an active wildlife rehabilitation and release site, and true Cambodian smiles and hospitality!
