Day 1: Phnom Penh arrival

Meals included: Nil
Day 2: Phnom Penh Sightseeing & Transfer to Mondulkiri (B, L, D)
A morning taking in the highlights of Cambodia’s capital, including the Royal Palace and the Silver Pagoda with its collection of royal treasures.
After lunch, begin the drive east to Mondulkiri, around six and a half to seven hours through changing landscapes as the plains give way to forested highlands. Dinner and overnight in Mondulkiri.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch on the way, Dinner
Day 3 – 5: Mondulkiri, Elephant Conservation (B, L, D)
Three days working with a conservation project that keeps rescued elephants in protected forest rather than in captivity. The program is built around animal welfare: there is no riding, no bathing, and no forced interaction. Students observe the elephants from a safe distance and on the animals’ own terms.
Days are spent on practical conservation work alongside the local Bunong team, including cultivating banana plants and trees to feed the herd, reforestation, water source management, and habitat restoration. Between work sessions, students trek the jungle trails to find the elephants and watch them forage and move through the forest as they would in the wild.
Sessions run roughly from 8:00 to 11:30 and 1:30 to 4:30, with lunch cooked at the forest camp. Trekking is around 4km a day on mixed jungle paths with gentle inclines, suitable for all fitness levels. The group returns to the hotel each evening.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch at site, Dinner at restaurant/ hotel
Day 6: Return to Phnom Penh & City Sightseeing (B, L, D)
An early departure for the drive back to Phnom Penh, around six and a half to seven hours with lunch on the way.
