Shinta Mani Wild

15 lavish riverside tents in the middle of the Cardamom Mountains. This tented camp set up in the Cardamom mountains of Cambodia is anything but rustic. 15 bespoke tents, whimsical and flamboyant in design feature open air rolltop baths, heavy teak furniture and a private butler. Guests can choose from a waterfall or wild tent, all built on stilts.

The resort is spread over 865 acres of rainforest dotted with rainforest, bought as a way to protect the region from deforestation and poaching. Many of the staff employed used to be poachers or loggers. Shanti Mani Wild also funds an anti poaching station, and hopes to run a student programme for future wildlife protectors.

Shanti Mani Wild is choc-a-block full of low impact adventures from camera trapping to ziplining, foraging to joining an anti poaching patrol. Adventure, but in A grade style. Even arrival to the camp can be via zipline. This is luxury responsible tourism at its best.
