Ultimate Encounter

Discover Cambodia’s Wild Side

Looking to explore Cambodia? Tented camp Shinta Mani Wild has opened in the Southern Cardamom National Park.

For travellers looking for a spectacular wilderness experience in one of Southeast Asia’s most vibrant destinations should make a beeline for Shinta Mani Wild, the newest addition to acclaimed American design Bill Bensley’s signature collection. The stunning tented camp has opened on the banks of a rushing river deep within the country’s Southern Cardamom National Park, a lush and pristine forest far from the bustle of Cambodia’s cities.

Boasting just 15 custom-built tented suites, Shinta Mani Wild is not your everyday escape. For example, you’ll arrive via car or helicopter before soaring into the camp on a thrilling 350-meter-long zip line.

In fact, the active has an array of activities to keep them busy, from exploring this unique setting’s network of waterways aboard a Bensley-designed expedition vessel, to helping anti-poaching rangers and local research teams in the jungle, while the more somnolent can pamper themselves at the Boulders Spa, where treatments are laced with chemical-free products from Bensley’s Khmer Tonics brand.

A highlight will be the sustainable cuisine of chef Kien Wagner, who forages and works with local producers to ensure the freshest organic ingredients.
