Adventure vs In Style
We have two safari classifications. So how do we differentiate the new ‘Adventure’ and ‘In Style’ classifications? This is done in a number of ways, ranging from all new tents with connected bathrooms to an all-round higher level of service on the ‘In Style’ trips. If the original Temple Safari is a 3* camping experience, then ‘In Style’ is more like 4* boutique camping, akin to the level of service and experience at a boutique hotel. Looking in more depth, the new-look tents include fully-appointed hotel-style bathrooms, complete with flush toilet, wash basin and stylish toiletries. The furnishings are all wood, including full-size single beds, tables and chairs and clothes rails, plus an antique brass fan. Service is taken to another level, including bath robe, slippers and orchids on the bed with a turndown service. Meals are fully catered as before, but with a butler service and beer and wine is also included, not only soft drinks and water.

The Tents
The Angkor Safari Tents allow Hanuman to take guests to places in Cambodia that currently have no or little tourism infrastructure, ensuring a truly unique experience. The tents are based upon the tried and tested African safari tents and are fully waterproof. Each day they are pitched at our destination by our staff on a durable tarpaulin and they consist of two layers. The inner layer comes with complete mosquito and insect protection and includes five meshed windows for light and breeze during the day. The overall dimensions of the tent are 3m wide x 4m long x 2.5m high. Yes, you heard it right, 2.5m high offering standing room throughout. The ‘Adventure’ tents include a separate bathroom and shower tent located near the main sleeping tent, while the new ‘In Style’ tents include a connected bathroom, linked to the rear of the main tent by a small ante-room for luggage storage.

The Itineraries
The itineraries featured on the website are just a smattering of samples to inspire your travel planning. However, there are many more combinations available that we haven’t included here, so don’t feel that this booklet contains your only options. Hanuman pride itself on flexibility and we are happy to work closely with you to craft each itinerary and experience to fit the client. For those that are really looking to have the complete safari experience in Cambodia, it is possible to plan a two-week tour, that includes a couple of nights up the Mekong, some time in the lively capital, a detour to the south coast and a Beach Safari experience, and the signature Temple Safari experience on the road to Angkor.

Responsible Tourism
Hanuman is a strong supporter of responsible tourism and sustainable tourism practices. Our safari trips include a commitment to responsible tourism. Temple Safari has been an employment generator in areas that previously had no economy beyond agriculture. Hanuman has trained up a support team to assist with preparing and supplying the camps. Food and general supplies are sourced locally where possible, although this is not always possible in the case of certain luxuries. Hanuman employs up to 10 people on a part-time basis in each safari location, working as anything from cooks and cleaners to porters and security. Even on trips like Beach Safari we endeavour to buy fresh fish direct from local fishermen on the islands, rather than bringing supplies from the mainland. We will bring the same philosophy to our Mekong Safaris in the coming year. Guests can rest assured that their Cambodian safari will be doing its little bit to help the local economy in remote areas. We are also big supporters of NGO and community projects up and down the country, ranging from Friends or Romdeng restaurants in Phnom Penh to Artisans d’Angkor in Siem Reap. On our safari trips, we build in good cause visits where suitable, such as Weaves of Cambodia in Tbeng Meanchey, Wat Roka Kandal in Kratie, Mekong Blue in Stung Treng or Starfish Bakery in Sihanoukville.
