Experience Shinta Mani Wild in luxury—fly by private helicopter from Phnom Penh to Cambodia’s exclusive jungle retreat.
Luxury is not just about where you stay—sometimes it’s about how you arrive. And there is no more thrilling way to begin your journey to Shinta Mani Wild than by private helicopter, lifting off from the heart of Phnom Penh and soaring into the untouched wilderness of the Southern Cardamom rainforest. The experience begins as your helicopter gently ascends over the city, offering a breathtaking bird’s-eye view of Cambodia’s vibrant capital. Below, the bustle of Phnom Penh unfolds—Royal Palace spires shimmer in the sun, the Tonlé Sap and Mekong Rivers curve like silk ribbons through the city, and golden pagodas dot the skyline. As the helicopter banks westward, the urban rhythm gradually fades. Skyscrapers give way to traditional stilted homes, bustling markets transition into lush green fields, and the city’s complex tapestry slowly dissolves into the vastness of the Cambodian countryside. From here, it becomes pure magic. The journey south-west takes you over a living landscape—miles of untouched jungle, winding rivers, and distant mountain ridges cloaked in mist. Below, the dense canopy of the Cardamom Mountains stretches to the horizon, concealing rare wildlife and ancient secrets within its emerald folds. This aerial perspective is not just transport—it is an immersion into the grandeur of nature.
Then, in a clearing barely visible until you’re nearly there, Shinta Mani Wild appears—elegant, remote, and completely at home in its jungle surroundings. Touching down on the private helipad is like arriving at a secret hideaway, accessible only to those who know how to find it. From there, your adventure begins with a vintage-style army jeep ride into camp, where handcrafted tented villas await—suspended over a wild river and surrounded by one of Asia’s last great rainforests.
This is Bill Bensley’s bold vision come to life: a luxury camp with the soul of an expedition and the comfort of a five-star resort. Choosing the helicopter transfer from Phnom Penh is an extraordinary journey, a journey that is as extraordinary as your destination. From cityscape to canopy, skyscrapers to jungle, this is an arrival you’ll never forget.
