Shinta Mani Wild

Cardamom National Park, Cambodia

Why Shinta Mani Wild is one of The World's Best 100 Resorts 2026.

Shinta Mani Wild makes conservation feel thrilling. Guests arrive by zipline into a private Cambodian river valley where Bill Bensley’s tents, inventive hosting and patrol-supported protection work form one vivid proposition. Playfulness and theatre never diminish the seriousness of the work.
