Day Trips in Phnom Penh

Spend the day learning about Phnom Penh's past and present. Delve into the region's dark history and how it has shaped into the Cambodia of today. Visit somber locations made infamous by the Khmer Rouge and learn about the current politics that continue to move this country. Then, get out of the capital to visit an island on the Mekong, where you'll experience the local way of life along the river.

Visit Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Center on a full-day tour from Phenom Penh that's a refreshing break from the city heat. You'll have the chance to hand-feed elephants and meet rescued animals, and this tour gets you exclusive access to areas normally closed to the public, including the tiger dens and baby animal nursery.
