Shinta Mani Wild

A sanctuary where jungle drama and daring design collide

Nestled deep within Cambodia’s verdant Cardamom Mountains, Shinta Mani Wild redefines luxury with a fearless embrace of the wild. This 5-star tented camp, part of Bill Bensley’s distinctive Bensley Collection, occupies a 350‑hectare private nature reserve at the confluence of three national parks. Accessible via a dramatic zip‑line or rugged 4×4 ride, the property offers 15 spectacular safari‑style tents perched above the Tmor Rung River and dramatic waterfalls.

Each handcrafted tent feels like a storybook lodge - full of vintage traveller charm, antique brass accents, and woven leather furniture. Interiors are spacious and glamorous, with indoor‑outdoor living spaces, freestanding bathtubs on river‑rock decks, and thoughtfully curated minibars stocked for self‑service. 

The tents are arranged carefully so guests never see their neighbours, creating a sense of intimate wilderness immersion .

Guests gather at The Headquarters, a dramatic open‑air treehouse restaurant and bar overlooking a roaring waterfall. Menus celebrate local, seasonal cuisine - riverside picnics and waterfall‑side cocktails are highlights. Further down the river, a forest‑framed cistern pool offers cooling respite amid the jungle heat.

Adventure is woven into every moment: guided jungle treks, kayaking, zip‑lining, mountain biking, and wildlife‑patrol experiences accompany bespoke butler service for every guest. Silence envelopes the camp, too - tents have no TVs or Wi‑Fi, encouraging full presence in nature’s embrace.

Perfect for Adventure‑minded couples, conservation‑conscious travellers, and seekers of spectacular wilderness escapes.

Shinta Mani Wild isn’t merely a place to stay - it’s a courageous declaration that true luxury includes preserving the wild beauty that sustains us.
