RETURN TO NATURE
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!

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE
All activities are included in the package, but optional and will be tailored to your preferences and schedule to make the most of your visit! During the wet season (June –November) warm rains are constant in the Cardamoms but activities still continue!
- Join our staff on walks through the surrounding forest, following old logging trails and learning about the local flora and fauna. While wild animal sightings are rare, we often see signs of their activity and you can try your hand at interpreting them!
- Enjoy the beautiful natural streams and swim in the small rapids the rains bring in the monsoon season (June to November)
- Visit the wildlife we are preparing for release such as resident sun bears, monkeys and birds with their keepers during feeding times and spot newly released animals that are still receiving supplementary food.
- Help keepers track radio-collared wildlife after their release, when available.
- Be part of the excitement of checking camera traps in the surrounding forest to monitor the elusive local wildlife. We have captured images of wild leopard cats, Indian civets, porcupines and deer species!
- Take in the quiet and natural surroundings from a hammock
- Enjoy the hospitality of our friendly Cambodian keepers who love to share meals, stories and the occasional rice wine around the night fire with guests.

GUIDE AND SAFETY
You will be with Wildlife Alliance staff and an English-speaking guide for safety and comfort during your stay, and to answer any questions or concerns you may have. We provide a short safety briefing on arrival and a simple first aid kit is always available however we recommend bringing any specific medications you might require during your stay.
We recommend you bring your own socks and closed-toed shoes (preferably hiking boots) as well as long pants for comfort and safety especially for hikes in the forest. A few pairs of rubber boots are available on site. During the rainy season there are leeches in the jungles and around the animal release enclosures, however, they do not transmit disease and can be removed very easily!
