Shinta Mani Wild

Tented Camps
Beaches and Rivers, Cambodia

Located on the banks of a fast-flowing river, interspersed with waterfalls, Shinta Mani Wild is made up of 15 spacious tents perched above the water with just the rainforest and nature as a soundtrack.

The tents are classic safari in style with outdoor space to relax and soak up the surroundings as well as al fresco bathtubs.

Remote yet comfortable the owner set out to create a private nature sanctuary to protect the 400-acre river valley which is also a wildlife corridor. The camp has a spa, bar and restaurant and it is even possible to arrive by zip line.

Positive Impact

Owing so much to the idyllic natural environment that surrounds it, Shinta Mani has invested in ensuring the long-term survival of this ecosystem. The camp entirely funds a dedicated Wildlife Alliance ranger station, which deals with everything from collecting snares and arresting poachers to confiscating illegal logging equipment.

As part of a stay at Shinta Mani Wild, you’re invited to meet the rangers and join them in the field, learning more about their work.

Why we like Shinta Mani Wild

Shinta Mani Wild manages to combine the service of a luxury camp but maintaining a strong conservation ethos. With a turbulent history it is great to see this region of Cambodia being developed in such a positive way and giving visitors the chance to contribute to its resurgence.

Activities

A stay here is all about the surrounding wilderness. Board the resorts private boat to explore the waterways of South East Asia’s last estuarine ecosystem or join rangers, hiking to check camera traps and study the flora and fauna. There are long and short treks to suit all abilities and kayaking on the river is also a lovely way to explore. Back at the camp there is of course the spa to relax in or join the resident chef for a cooking class with a difference, heading into the forest to forage for ingredients.

Sustainability

Shinta Mani Wild collaborates with the Wildlife Alliance as well as government agencies and local researchers in an effort to conserve and protect the wildlife and surrounding environment from poaching, logging and mining. The hotel also offers opportunities to local communities and is constantly striving to find alternatives to single use plastics.
