Cambodia’s foremost wildlife sanctuary , Phnom Tamao is a home for animals confiscated from traffickers or saved from poachers traps. It occupies a wast site south of the Capital and its animals are kept in varying conditions that are rapidly improving with help from International Wildlife NGOs. Spread out as it is, it feels like a zoo crossed with a Safari Park. The ways things are developing, Phnom Tamao is set to become one of the region’s best-run animals sanctuaries in the coming years. 

Popular Enclosures include huge areas for large Tiger population, and there are Elephants that sometimes take part in activities such as painting. There is also a walk through area with macaques and deer and a huge menagerie, including some rare birds from around Cambodia.

The Center is home to the world’largest captive collections of pileated gibbons and Malayan Sun Bears, as well as other rarities such Siamese Crocodiles and greater adjutant storks. Wherever possible animals are released back into the wild ones they have recovered and the center operates breeding program for a number of globally threatened species.

Cambodia ‘s wildlife is usually very difficult to spot, as larger mammals inhabit remote and inhospitable areas of the country. Phnom Tamao is the perfect place to discover more about the incredible variety of animals in Cambodia.
