The Anlong Pring (not ‘’Anlong Prayng’’, this is a better-known district in Kampong Trach but no Crane birds here) bird sanctuary is located in Kampong Trach district, Kampot province.

This sanctuary is an official IBA (Important Bird Area), along with over 12,000 IBA’s in 200 countries. Birdlife International (www.birdlife.org) is the driving force behind this program. Anlong Pring’s IBA is Cambodia’s 2nd Sarus Crane reserve since 6 January 2011. The 1st reserve was established in Takeo province in 2007.

The Anlong Pring reserve covers 217ha of seasonally inundated grassland. In March 2010, the site held nearly 300 Sarus Cranes, more than 30% of the global population! Still, they can be difficult to spot for visitors.

The Cranes usually arrive around mid-November, to use the wetlands as a feeding ground, and remain until early May when they begin their migration to the wetlands in the northern and eastern plains of Cambodia where they breed. The Sarus Crane (subspecies sharpii) is a large crane found in parts of the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia and Australia. The tallest of the flying birds, standing at a height of up to 1.8 m, they are conspicuous and iconic species of open wetlands. The Sarus Crane is considered globally Vulnerable.

An entrance booth is being set up to collect a fee (max$5) that will go to the preservation of the reserve and the people living in the surrounding villages.

Directions:

We recommend your own transportation for this trip. Tuk tuks might take you out to Anlong Pring but be aware that it is a long trip and that this is a new destination, most drivers are still unaware of its existence / location.
If you get lost, ask local people ‘Sat Kreal’, this means ‘Crane Bird’.

From White Horse Kep, drive east on #33. After 29km, #33 takes a sharp left turn. You continue straight onto #31 (gravel road) for 700m. Turn right under an archway, drive through great countryside for 9km until you arrive at a T-crossing. Turn left here, drive past the pagoda and turn right again. Continue 3km and turn left (there is a crane bird sign board here) (if you go straight instead, you complete the loop to the Kampong Trach metal bridge after 15km). After 200m turn left again, continue 1.5km and you arrive at the makeshift Birdlife Centre watch post. The last 500m is not accessible by tuk tuk.

Avoid walking alone in isolated areas. Attacks have been reported at the South end of Ochheuteal Beach and at the rocky point connecting Sokha and Serendipity beaches. Do not bring any unnecessary valuables to the beach in order to minimize the chance of theft.

Please do NOT buy from children or adults using children to beg. This encourages children to stay on the beach and not attend school. The children might tell you that they do not have money to go to school and ask you for a donation or to pay their annual school fee. There have been reports of children and school directors working together to get several tourists paying the school fee for just 1 child. Profits of this 'scam' are apparently equally divided between child and director.
So ... think before giving money.

If you are concerned about a child, please call the 24h Child Safe Hotline (012 478 100). There are social workers who can assess the situation and find solutions.

In case of suspected sexual abuse of children, please contact APLE (Action Pour Les Enfants) at info(at)aplecambodia.org or call 023 996 351 or 012 584 194

A popular weekend hangout for Khmer families, this beach between Independence and Victory has a few beach sjacks and is quiet on weekdays. It is now also the site of the new bridge that connects up to Koh Pos (Snake Island).

This beach was cleared for development in 2008 but there is a small patch near Holiday Palace Hotel that is open to the public with a few vendors. There is a sandy area closer to the Independence Hotel, which is open to the public too. The beach is quiet, shallow and great for swimming.
