About Sam Veasna Center

“We passionately believe in the power of tourism as a tool for wildlife conservation and sustainable development for communities in Cambodia”

SVC runs birding and wildlife viewing trips with unique access to Wildlife Conservation Society sites across Cambodia.
Our mission is to sustain Cambodia’s wildlife and communities through ecotourism.
Our tours are designed to show you the best of birding, wildlife and nature, the real places of Cambodia. We take you places that are `off the beaten track’ in wildlife sanctuaries and protected areas as well as the more famous `must-see’ destinations. We introduce you to local people and their cultures, and the result is a birding and wildlife experience that is unique, varied, exhilarating, relaxing and fulfilling, leaving you with a clear conscience.

Expert and local
We are a Cambodian organization with over 13 years of experience in wildlife and conservation work. We spend six month every year training our 12 passionate, English-speaking Cambodian guides and trainees in birding and wildlife-viewing skills. We work with local guides in the rural areas taking you to places which are beyond reach to others, presenting you with the best chance to see key species.

Conservation and responsible travel
Our work delivers essential conservation through community-based ecotourism and provides sustainable livelihoods to local communities. We partner with WCS Cambodia and the Royal Cambodian Government in the protected areas, and our work has been awarded globally as a model of successful conservation.

Custom Made
From one day to 25 days travelling throughout Cambodia, all our tours are tailor-made to your own unique requirements and interests.

Unique Access
Our conservation work and partnership with WCS Cambodia gives us unique access to some of Cambodia’s most remote and rare habitats in Wildlife Sanctuaries and Protected Forests, to provide you with the best chance to see critically endangered birds and wildlife.

Cambodia
Still little known as a destination for wildlife watching, Cambodia has an incredible variety of rare habitats and species, many critically endangered. In several of the locations we visit and stay, there will be no one else, a truly unique and magical nature experience.

Awards
In 2016 SVC won Gold Medal at The World Responsible Tourism Awards for Best Contribution to Wildlife Conservation. This was a huge honour and recognition of our work on a global stage, and we are enormously proud. Over the years we have received a number of awards for both our conservation and community efforts, as well as for our service and experience. A few are shown here.

Meet and Guide

Since SVC started running tours in 2006 we have trained up a team of world class Cambodian specialist birding and wildlife guides. SVC guides are passionate and dedicated conservationists as well as guides, inspiring a new generation of Cambodian’s to nurture their environment and love their natural heritage. They take part in field studies, species surveys, work with other global conservation organisations assisting and supporting with their expert knowledge.

We spend the 6 months over low season training and building the skills of our guiding team in technical birding skills, natural history and beyond… extending further every year building knowledge of butterflies, dragonflies, botany and the amazing biodiversity of Cambodia.
Many of the team have been with us for 10+ years now and are known and loved by birders and wildlife lovers the world over. A number of the team are also fully licensed and qualified Temple guides able to uncover the natural wonders and species around Cambodia’s iconic temples.
Take a little time to meet some of the wonderful characters who make up our guiding team below.
