Wildlife Alliance – Admin Office (NO TOURS) — Attraction in Khan Chamkar Mon

The Wildlife Alliance Conservation Experience in Phnom Penh offers a unique, immersive opportunity for visitors to actively participate in wildlife conservation efforts. Based at the Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Center, the experience provides guests with the chance to work directly with rescued animals, including tigers, gibbons, elephants, and bears. It’s a hands-on program where you can assist with animal care, feed the animals, and help maintain their enclosures, all while learning about the ongoing conservation challenges in Cambodia.

This experience offers valuable insights into the critical work of rescuing animals from illegal poaching and habitat destruction and rehabilitating them for possible release back into the wild. The program also highlights the broader conservation efforts, working with local communities to promote sustainable practices and environmental education.

One of the standout aspects of this experience is its meaningful impact. The fees for participation may be higher than other tours, but guests often mention that the money goes directly towards supporting wildlife conservation in Cambodia, which makes the cost worthwhile. Visitors report feeling a sense of fulfillment, knowing their contribution helps protect endangered species and supports long-term environmental change.

While the experience is educational and rewarding, it’s important to note that it’s not cheap and may not be suitable for every traveler’s budget. However, for those passionate about wildlife and conservation, it’s an invaluable and impactful way to spend time in Cambodia.

Overall, the Wildlife Alliance Conservation Experience is highly recommended for those seeking a hands-on, educational, and purposeful way to contribute to wildlife protection in Cambodia, while gaining a deeper understanding of the region’s...

I definetely recommend the animal tour in Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Center. I have been living in Phnom Penh for a few months and wanted to show my father who was visiting some of the rescued animals. Our tour guides were Chris and another guide whose name I have unfortunately forgotten. (On your website there is a group photo and he is the second from the left kneeling down in the photo). These guides made the experience incredible! No other people signed up for the day and from the very beginning our guides assured us this would make it even more fun! Our first 30 minutes in the preserve an elephant named Lucky CHARGED the bus and stopped short right before us and wiggled his butt like an excited puppy waiting to greet its friends. For the next 8 hours Chris and our other guide brought us to see many animal exhibits, many times bringing us into the staff "behind the scenes" area so that we could see the animals face to face. We held monkeys, laughed with the otters, and saw a rescued leopard kitten that was the size of my two hands. Our guides were so patient with us, answering every question and staying longer with animals we clearly loved. Even on hour 6 in the hot sun when most people would have been tired, our guides were laughing and telling jokes. If they were tired, they did not show it!! Having funny talkative and friendly guides was as much fun as seeing the animals. Thank you so much for this experience. It was worth every...

Staying at the Wildlife Alliance Release Centre near Chi Phat was such a special experience for me. I was there for two days, but I wish I could have stayed longer. It was so heartening to see the passion that the staff have for the animals and Kiri the Hornbill kept us entertained throughout my stay.

This is such an important project for Cambodia and it was nice to do some short treks in the jungle too, as well as learning about the animals and visiting them at feeding time. Above all I just loved the ambience and being surrounded by nature.

To reach the centre I caught the 6.30am Buva Sea boat off Koh Rong island and then took the 8.15am VET mini van from Sihanoukville to Andoung Tuek bridge (which I booked online via the VET website). I had arranged with the Chi Phat Community Centre to take the river boat from Andoung Tuek to Chi Phat village (2hrs and a nice experience, book via the Chi Phat website) and also to stay one night in Chi Phat village in a homestay (lovely family). A guide from the wildlife release centre then picked me up on a motorbike the next morning to take me to the centre. I was able to leave one of my bags at the Chi Phat Community Centre, as the road to the rescue centre is very small...
