Summary

Nestled deep within the wilderness of the Southern Cardamom National Park, in a pristine wildlife corridor, Shinta Mani Wild - A Bensley Collection is an all-inclusive luxury camp with just 15 tents. Entry to the camp is via a 400m zip line ride over the forest canopy, rivers and a waterfall to the Landing Zone Bar where the General Manager and your Bensley Butler greet you on arrival.

Creative luxury adventures include exploring the untrammelled waterways of South East Asia’s last wild estuarine ecosystem aboard a custom Bensley-designed expedition boat; or joining Wildlife Alliance rangers on anti-poaching patrols. Ever changing menus are inspired by sustainably foraged wild edible plants from the forest and organic farm. The Khmer Tonics Spa provides organic chemical-free treatments including a river-stone foot massage while soaking in a waterfall pool. The 100 sqm tents are perfect for spending a relaxing day doing nothing but enjoying your tent and its expansive private view, some with waterfalls.

Facilities

The Headquarters - restaurant

The Headquarters are the home of dining at Shinta Mani Wild. Be it a quick breakfast before your sunrise hike, or a leisurely foraged dinner, no Headquarters experience is alike! Every meal is carefully curated by the hotel's chefs to introduce you to something unknown and add to the adventure. Guests will enjoy the freshest seasonal ingredients that Cambodia has to offer, many of them picked by our team in the surrounding forest.

The dining possibilities at WILD are endless, whether you’re eating at Headquarters, on the law...

The Landing Zone Bar - bar

Expect jaw-dropping views and a tempting drink list, enjoyed over the Big Raging Sister Waterfall. Settle into vintage French chairs, cocktails in hand, complete with ingredients plucked from the camp's backyard, as well as WILD's in-house apothecary-style bitters, and our Master mixologist’s techniques.

If you’d like a cocktail making class to learn the ins and outs of the perfect Negroni, or for your own signature cocktail, just ask! You could also zipline to the bar, should walking seem a little pedestrian.

Spa - wellness

Indulge in pampering treatments at this signature Spa, Khmer Tonics. The spa’s two treatment rooms are nestled amid giant natural rocks perched in the forest canopy. Sensibly the design takes its cues from the forest, with plenty of wood and stone. The river takes center stage, have a river-stone foot massage while soaking in a waterfall pool or have therapists visit your tent for a treatment inside or on your balcony with the river rushing below. 

The refined treatment menu celebrates Cambodia with chemical-free tonics...

Swimming at The Cistern
As the DNA of this camp is a 1967 King Sihanouk expedition, a concrete tiled swimming pool would have looked out of place. But a cistern, where gin clear ground water was stored, makes sense. A 33 meter long swimming hole painted steel jet black so that...

No. 15 - The Gibbons Tent

Waterfall Tent

The farthest up the river valley, the farthest north, this tent is clearly the most remote, that is why the chances hearing a small troop of resident pileated gibbons is best from here, especially early in the morning.

No. 6 - The Wildlife Alliance Tent

Two-Bedroom Tent

Just north of Headquarters and the Raging Big Sister Falls floats tent No. 6 over the widest but shallow tributary No. 3. The approach is spectacular.

The Jungle Capsule with simple doubled bedded accommodation works well as an add-on to this tent.
