Cambodia has a wealth of sights and sounds, and if you dig a little deeper you will find a country like no other, where the smiles and the warmth of the people are as much a part of the experience as visiting the country itself. Perhaps the most famous highlight is the spectacular 1,000 year old Khmer temple ruins, and be sure to enjoy the quaint and quiet capital of Phnom Penh.

Cambodia has a fascinating past, which makes it an excellent cultural and educational destination for families.

Cambodia and Vietnam complement each other beautifully: Cambodia has a more laid back charm while Vietnam is the beating heart of Indochina, with fast paced ancient cities. Even in 10 days, you can combine Cambodia and Vietnam with ease, but we’d recommend a little longer to do these wonderful countries justice. You can even cruise between the two along the historic Mekong River.
This high-end itinerary incorporates key cultural areas of Cambodia, finishing with some relaxation time at one of Asia’s most exclusive resorts. Staying at luxurious hotels throughout, you will also enjoy some wonderfully special experiences.

The incredibly rare Irrawaddy dolphins are very shy and you do not get SeaWorld backflips, however seeing these lovely animals on a rare protected section of the Mekong River is a very special experience. Normally found in pods of up to six dolphins, these elusive creatures are notoriously difficult to photograph, but that only adds to their charm; put down the camera and just enjoy your time on the river.
Located on the south coast of Cambodia, Kep is a well-known escape for people from the capital and is slowly becoming renowned as a great place for foodies. Just over two hours’ drive from Phnom Penh, this sleepy colonial town boasts some of the best crab dishes in Southeast Asia, eaten in lovely little restaurants over the water, or crab shacks as we like to call them. Coupling this fantastic seaside produce with some of the best pepper in the world from the neighbouring town of Kampot makes for a stunning culinary experience.

The temples of Angkor Wat are of course Cambodia’s most famous attraction, and spending the day wandering around these is an essential element of any trip to Cambodia. But to get a different perspective on the temples we recommend hovering above them in a helicopter. This is definitely a decadent way of seeing this famous World Heritage Site, and it is a very popular experience with our clients. Getting a bird’s eye view of the temple lets you take in the immense size of the Angkor complex, complete with its surrounding moats. You can extend the flight to incorporate Tonle Sap Lake and take in even more of this stunning region – you’ll get some truly memorable photos too.
For people who enjoy history and culture, a trip to Cambodia is not complete without spending some time appreciating their recent history under the Khmer Rouge. A visit to the Killing Fields and S21 is not a light-hearted day of sightseeing, but it does open your eyes to the trauma the country went through and puts everything else you’ll see in Cambodia into perspective – it will give you a whole new appreciation for all the smiling local faces you see throughout the country. Phnom Penh does have a lighter side too with some lovely riverside restaurants, so be sure to go and enjoy a nice lunch after a fascinating if slightly harrowing morning exploring the country’s rich history.
Tucked away in the northeast corner of the country, the Ratanakiri Province is one for the more adventurous traveller as it is definitely off the beaten track. Take a walk around a beautiful volcanic lake and then take a dip to cool down, visit local hill tribes and secluded waterfalls or head into the jungle where you can encounter elephants as well as the extremely rare northern yellow-cheeked gibbon. There is plenty to occupy your days with, but if you want to spend them doing very little, enjoy this hidden treasure simply by wandering around and soaking up the incredible rural surroundings.
Not the first thing you associate with a trip to Cambodia, but this is great fun for all ages.

Tucked away in the east of the country, the ELIE Project is a fantastic wildlife project looking after elephants that have been injured working in the logging industry.
