Anlung Pring Community Led Ecotourism

  Beautiful peaceful and inspiring. Enjoyed our stay. Its a good combination of birdwatching, rural food, visiting traditional products, very convenient homestay and very beautiful landscapes. Very recommended.

  So incredibly privileged to have been the first tourist of the season to see the sarus crane arrive to their feeding grounds.

After being told they hadn’t arrived... read more yet in previous emails, the amazing team at the Anlung Pring emailed with such excitement to say they arrived as we were emailing! So a quick dash out on the motorbike to see the world's tallest flying bird, a dozen other wetland bird species and the beautiful wetlands they all feed in. If you ever get to Kampot, Cambodia get down and check out this amazing community based conservation project. It was so beautiful to see Boona, his wife, the rangers and the entire community so excited to see” their friends” the Sarus cranes return. Check out mekongcrane.com.

The center is incredibly easy to find! It is accurate on google maps, took me 1 hour by scooter, and it well sign posted the entire way. Look out for the signs in the pictures with this review.

I went on my own, and spent a few horus there, however I would recommend booking a full day tour, or even the overnight home stay which can be seen on the website. My day was very spontaneous and based on the cranes literally arriving at the same time I got there.

Check it out and support this amazing local project!

We visited for the afternoon, but we wish we had spent the entire day there. A delicious looking lunch is served at the tourist center, where you can also buy locally made souvenirs. The tourist center overlooks a beautiful landscape, whilst the ranger station and bird viewing platform overlook the marshland. The road through the village to the site is clean, shady and cuts through an interesting agricultural landscape.

Great to see a well organised community-level project promoting sustainable tourism and wildlife conservation in Cambodia. We'll be back to experience the overnight tours which sound great!
