See the cranes!
See the world’s tallest flying birds, with feathers in delicate greys and greens, and shocking red.
You can often get to within 100 metres of the cranes, and we provide binoculars for you to use.
As a nature lover, bird watcher, or photographer, you will leave with fabulous photos and memories.
They are usually here between late December and April. In 2019 they arrived on 18 December. If you are planning to visit around April, contact us to check that they are still present!
We have a specially-built viewing tower, so that you can stay above the wetland and see the cranes without disturbing them. If you are technically-minded you can learn about them at the International Crane Foundation website.
The cranes are the stars but they also have a great supporting cast of animals: the water buffalo are so endearing we named our Buffalo café in their honour.
Cultural experiences
A local-life school like no other!
Make Khmer noodles
Participate in each stage of production and then enjoy the results of your hard work at the end. See a mixture of modern and traditional methods combined and understand how food is made in local villages.
Food gathering
Try three traditional Khmer fishing methods including a casting net, bamboo basket and seine net. In the right season, the guide can show you how to harvest other seasonal foods fresh from the wetlands.
Rice wine
Rice wine is a source of pride around Anlung Pring—join in the fun of making and drinking it!
Making ombok
Help make sticky rice, then add banana and coconut; and then eat!
Fishing
Live the rustic life–catch fish with a net, then take it to be prepared and enjoy the fruits of your labour.
Weaving
Want to go plastic-free? Then weave! Traditional weaving is not easy but it is a social activity, using local Leprionia plants.
Homestay!
Spend the night in Anlung Pring! Experience life in a local’s home–you help the community even more and can explore more of the region from here the next day

Spectacular sarus cranes and many other wild bird species. Awesome place. Bonastar Love is a great guide. 👍
Andrés Cruz2/24/2019
Beautiful environmental community project that offer extras such as a three day homestay - not very well known as it's off the beaten track but a brilliant area to be able to watch the Sarus cranes from late Jan to March

Take a tuk-tuk, motorbike, or car, to Anlung Pring. Our guide Bona will bring you out to see the cranes (December to April); then enjoy lunch in the Buffalo Café. You can even stay the night in our friendly local homestays, giving you time for a lesson in local cooking or handcrafts.
From Kampot and Kep
Take Highway 33 towards Kep (if you cross railway tracks or a river out of Kampot Town you’re on the wrong highway).
Travel through Kampong Trach and continue straight onto highway 31 for 3km and look out for the Crane signposts at the next junction.
Continue straight for 600 metres and take the right dirt track road with the Crane signpost.
From Kampong Trach
Travel straight down the dirt track road for 8km, then take the left turning at the T-junction and follow the road for 600 metres to the parking area.
If you are thinking about visiting the Kampong Trach caves, then make a day of it by coming the extra half hour to Anlung Pring.
