Koh Samseb Community Based Ecotourism

NTFP-EP Cambodia and the Provincial Department of Tourism, supported by Partners for Forestry and Fisheries (PaFF) programme, is proud to present the most scenery Mekong basin landscape of the Koh Samseb Community-Based Ecotourism in Kratie province. The wide water basin full of human-uninhabited and inhabited green islands rich of unthinkable lives such as water forests, giant fishes and endangered bird species is real bliss to see. Visiting the Koh Samseb will not only expose visitors to the most magnificent Mekong basin but provide them with opportunities to contribute to social development and conservation activities. Eco-tourism activities are managed by local community groups whose generated incomes are for their livelihood, and a portion of which will be dedicated to the protection of the basin biodiversity.
