A Bunong community-run bamboo camp inside Seima Wildlife Sanctuary

Jahoo Gibbon Camp is a community-owned ecotourism project run by the Indigenous Bunong people of Andong Kraleung village, inside Cambodia's Seima Wildlife Sanctuary. The camp is built from bamboo and other local, renewable materials in a style inspired by traditional Bunong construction, with simple tents, beds, showers and an open-sided Bamboo Lounge where home-cooked meals are served. The surrounding forest holds the world's largest known populations of yellow-cheeked crested gibbons and black-shanked doucs, alongside elephants, bears, banteng and gaur.

At dawn, Wildlife Conservation Society-trained Bunong researchers guide guests on forest treks to track the gibbons and doucs by sound and sight. Other activities include birdwatching, waterfall hikes, farm visits and lessons in traditional forest knowledge and Bunong culture from local hosts. A Gibbon Fund contribution, built into every tour rate, goes directly toward community development in Andong Kraleung.
