You work at the front-desk of a hotel. A guest approaches you and wants to have some information on the Shinta Mani Wild, he has heard of, and he wants to spend some days there.
Shinta Mani Wild is a special luxury tented camp deep in the jungle of southern Cambodia. It was designed by a famous architect, Bill Bensley, and is built in a private nature reserve next to a river and waterfalls. The resort has beautiful tents that look like old explorer camps but have everything you need for a 5-star stay, like a soft bed, nice bathroom, and stylish design.
What makes Shinta Mani Wild stand out is its strong care for nature and wildlife. The camp was built without cutting down any trees. It helps protect the forest from illegal hunting and logging by working with local rangers. Guests can even join the rangers on patrols, go hiking, or take boat rides down the river. There is also a jungle spa where you can relax near the waterfalls.
Food is fresh and made with local ingredients. The staff gives very personal service, and for fun, you can even arrive at the camp by zipline!
Shinta Mani Wild is not just a hotel. It’s a full adventure in nature, with luxury and a good cause. You enjoy the beauty of the jungle while helping protect it. It’s perfect for people who love comfort, nature, and something truly different.
