Cardamom Tented Camp Cambodia

The concept for Cardamom Tented Camp, a three-way initiative between The Minor Group, YAANA Ventures, and Wildlife Alliance, emerged from the need for a sustainable tourism development project—a mandatory requirement for obtaining the Eco-Tourism, Eco Lodge, and Conservation Concession, granted by the Royal Government of Cambodia in 2009.

The eco-lodge camp, which opened in November 2017, allocates a percentage of its revenues directly to the Wildlife Alliance and its conservation efforts in the park. Any additional profits are then reinvested locally. The Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation, an initiative of The Minor Group, also supports the Wildlife Alliance.

With the tagline' Your Stay Keeps the Forest Standing', guests staying at the Cardamom Tented Camp help sustain a conservation-friendly business set up to keep the 18,073-hectare (180 km²) concession out of the hands of loggers, poachers, and sand dredging operations.

The Cardamom Tented Camp is, therefore, a pioneering and responsible
Eco Lodge and committed to supporting the conservation efforts of Wildlife Alliance in cooperation with the local community, with a mandate to sustain and preserve the rich prevailing biodiversity of the area.

The small-scale, low-impact eco-lodge camp, featuring twelve basic yet comfortable tented accommodations, is designed to provide guests with an immersive nature experience while actively contributing to the research, protection, and conservation efforts of the existing natural reserves.

Through strong collaboration with the nearby Trapeang Rung Commune and extensive cooperation with the Wildlife Alliance, guests have the opportunity to set up and evaluate camera traps, as well as contribute to monitoring and assessing the park's wildlife and natural resources.

All of our tours and activities have been designed to provide guests with a meaningful and educational experience, with the protection of the environment as the key goal of the project.
