After being isolated from the birding and travelling world for so long, Cambodia has emerged as one of South-east Asia’s finest birding and cultural destinations. Our comprehensive tour of the country targets both of Cambodia’s endemic species – the beautiful and incredibly localized Cambodian Laughingthrush and Cambodian Tailorbird, as well as many other rare and very special birds, several of which can otherwise only be seen with extreme difficulty at a few isolated and remote sites in Asia!

Our tour covers the spectacular and world-renowned temples of Angkor Wat before visiting all of Cambodia’s key birding localities. The famous Prek Toal water-bird colony and sanctuary at the north-westerly edge of Tonle Sap Lake will offer us the best opportunity to observe the sought-after Greater and Lesser Adjutants, Milky Stork, and Grey-headed Fish Eagle. We can expect to find a large population of wintering Sarus Cranes at Ang Trapaeng Thmor before moving onwards to Tmatboey via the Florican grasslands for the Critically Endangered Bengal Florican, Giant and White-shouldered Ibis, Blossom-headed Parakeet, Black-headed Woodpecker, White-rumped Falcon, and Spotted Wood Owl. The forests around Changkran Roy will hopefully produce Bar-bellied Pitta, Oriental Bay Owl, and Blyth’s Frogmouth and with a bit of luck, the rare and elusive Coral-billed Ground Cuckoo. A boat trip on the Mekong River near Kratie should yield the localized Mekong Wagtail.

What our clients say about us

Paul Varney
MN - Cambodia 2024

The tour was full of high quality birds & fun. Paul is an excellent leader & worked well with the local guide to get us the best views possible. I look forward to another tour with him. I also recommend Cambodia with Angkor Wat as quite a backdrop for some great birds.
