our tents

Perched over the river and shrouded by the foliage, our 15 canvas-roofed tents are romantic oases of timelessness and whimsy. Each is different, designed by Bill Bensley to immerse guests in ultimate jungle comfort: air-conditioned bedrooms, cloud-like mattresses, hand-picked antiques, an outdoor deck with a riverside tub.

everything is included

At Wild, we bundle everything into your room rate (except your helicopter): Meals, drinks, activities, transfers, unlimited spa treatments, wellness activities including yoga and meditation. We’ve crafted the perfect experience for you in the Cambodian jungle, and we don’t want anything getting in the way of that.

o1 The Cambodian Royalty Tent

Perched over rolling rapids on the widest part of the river, Tent 01 pays respect to Cambodia’s royal heritage. It was the first one built, providing the DNA that guides Shinta Mani Wild to this day.

o2 First Lady Jackie Kennedy’s Tent

Full of authentic ephemera documenting Jackie’s 1967 visit to Cambodia, Tent 02 levitates above monsoon rapids. The gaps in the Cambodian-style wood floor allow the music of water into the room.

o3 The Shinta Mani Foundation Tent

Tent 03 is perched above a 25-meter (82-foot) wide boulder that completely disappears under white water at the peak of the wet season, like being on a giant surfboard! Inside is a lovely tribute to people who have made the Foundation what it is today.

o4 The Bohemian Tent

Like the bohemian lifestyle, Tent 04 is filled with unconventional music, art, literature, and spiritual pursuits. The colorful sofas, inspired by the gorgeous work of artist Charley Harper, depict the threatened animals of the Cardamom Forest.

o5 The Great Conservationists Tent

Dedicated to Sir Laurens van der Post, the South African explorer and writer, Tent 05 is filled with his books. The vintage trunks are inscribed with the names of other legends of conservation, from Ansel Adams to Douglas Tompkins.

o6 The Wildlife Alliance Tent

Floating over a wide tributary, Tent 06 is reached via a succession of narrow wooden walkways. Our Jungle Capsule works well as an add-on to the main tent for an extra double bed. The happy, colorful interiors have a military twist with equipment once used by Wildlife Alliance to protect the Cardamoms.

o7 The Butterfly Tent

Situated at the confluence of two rivers, Tent 07 is where a plethora of butterfly species have been spotted. The delightful artwork includes two butterfly paintings by artist Kate Spencer and two bronze butterflies flanking the living room porch.

o8 King Jayavarman’s Tent

Tent 08 sits above an abundance of water that the setting sun seems to always find a way to reflect upon. The Jungle Book feeling is enhanced by Kate Spencer’s fanciful interpretations of King Jayavarman, who built the Bayon temple at Angkor.

o9 The Botanists Tent

Nestled deep in the jungle but not too far from Headquarters, Tent 09 has a great view of the Tmor Rung River. Kate Spencer’s botanical paintings complement pressed-tin mirror frames & massive sky beds with cast metal detailing.

10 The Birders Tent

Tent 10 sits on the highest stilts, flying like a bird above much of the jungle canopy. This incredibly airy tent has a lovely library of ornithology books and is graced with a great mural of a hornbill and 15 other Cambodian birds.

11 Shinta Mani’s Tent With a Heart

This tent showcases what is for sale at the camp. For a donation to the Shinta Mani Foundation, any of the Bensley design pieces that grace the tents can be purchased and shipped to guests’ homes, enabling them to always have a little bit of Shinta Mani Wild with them.

12 The Elephants Tent

Inspired by elusive herd of elephants and surrounded by a bamboo thicket, Tent 12 is guarded by a driftwood sculpture of a four-year-old elephant. Behind the dining table, 14 canvas panels were turned into a huge painting of an elephant inundated with Cambodian birds.

13 The Terrapins Tent

Although the inspiration for Tent 13, the Royal Cambodian Terrapin, was thought to be extinct, we recently spotted one of these handsome turtles at the nearby Srey Ambel estuary. This tent is dedicated to those involved in their protection and breeding.

14 The National Geographic Tent

Nestled in a rocky gorge at the base falls, Tent 14 celebrates Shinta Mani Wild being named a National Geographic Unique Lodge of the World. Inside, guests will find dozens of vintage National Geographic magazines and even a Nat Geo–themed Monopoly board!

01 / 05

15 The Gibbons Tent

The farthest up the river valley, Tent 15 is the most remote, which increases the chance you’ll hear our small troop of pileated gibbons. Inside, you’ll find a large painting of monkeys and select books by primatologists Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Birute Galdikas.
