EDUCATION In 2009 Mango began raising funds to support a local-run village school of English in rural Cambodia, helping to secure the school's future for more than two years. Weve contributed towards the building and stocking of the school library and donated a wide screen television, DVD player and a selection of DVDs, giving students the opportunity to learn from international resources as well as their own. Returning Mango clients from Calgary in Canada held a fundraiser for the school in their home town. The money raised will go to further sustain and develop the school.
CCH logo We support a selection of hand-picked, fully transparent organizations - such as the Centre for Childrens Happiness which nurture children from disadvantaged backgrounds. These organizations offer children, many of whom formerly lived on the streets or at the municipal rubbish dump, the chance to receive a good education and to be cared for in a safe, loving home. Some of Mangos clients have been inspired to sponsor the education of a specific child (or children). They often keep in touch with the kids from overseas via email, sending birthday gifts to those who might otherwise not get any. We strive to have a positive influence on the people and communities of Cambodia. By offering them opportunities and enabling them to develop and improve their lives, we believe we really can make a difference. By booking with Mango, so can you.

As a ChildSafe travel partner we help to protect children from the potential negative impacts of tourism. We aim to provide a safer environment for children by raising awareness of the issues with our clients and training all Mango tour leaders and guides in ChildSafe practises.

Other Testimonials from some of Mango Cambodia's clients... Middle Column Ten top reasons for choosing to holiday in Cambodia: 1. Unspoilt colonial charm 2. White sand beaches 3. Fascinating culture 4. Magical sights 5. Gorgeous hotels 6. Delicious cuisine 7. Infinity pools 8. Incredible people 9. Unique destinations 10. Affordable prices "Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living." - Miriam Beard Cambodia may not spring to mind as the most obvious holiday choice; a place to enjoy precious time away from the stresses and strains of everyday life. Archive news-footage of Khmer Rouge atrocities and Princess Diana tending Cambodian landmine victims have combined with general preconceptions about what life must be like in a "developing" country to make Cambodia the last place some would even consider as a holiday destination. But prepare to be surprised! Cambodia is developing more quickly than you might imagine! Phnom Penh is now a vibrant, fascinating city with wide, tree-lined boulevards, luscious parks, a lively riverfront, colonial architecture, museums, art galleries, tasteful monuments and an eclectic mix of wonderful bars, restaurants, hotels and clubs. A handful of sky scrapers is beginning to emerge on the horizon but it's nothing like on the scale of Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur.....yet! There is something truly authentic about this place, something of the "old Asia" that cannot fail to charm. Explore the city in a delightful tuk-tuk or gentile cyclo on your holidays in Cambodia. It's an experience you'll never forget - and one that is fast disappearing.
Siem Reap is a thriving town boasting a lot more than temples - there's plenty else to see and do - and the seaside resorts from Kep through Kampot, Sihanoukeville and Koh Kong offer unspoilt, white-sand beaches, incredible sunsets and peaceful deserted islands. If you just want to relax by a pool, have a luxurious spa treatment, dine in a great, world-class restaurant and chill out in a stylish hotel - maybe even dance the night away in a lively club - you can do it all in Cambodia. But if you want history, culture , countryside, jungle, elephant rides, trekking and cycle tours on your holidays in Cambodia they're all within easy reach. Check out our pickage tour menu to see our full range of available activities. And if you're still not convinced, remember that the most special gift Cambodia has to offer is its people, whose warm, welcoming smiles greet you at every step. English is widely spoken and Cambodians really enjoy their guests - they want you to fall in love with their country even more than we do. Our holidays in Cambodia are designed for independent travellers with enquiring minds. If you're looking for something a bit different to the norm, for a more personal experience than you'd get from a large tour company, you've come to the right place...

Link to Cambodia Weather
Cambodia Weather What is the weather like in Cambodia? The best time to visit Cambodia is from November to February when the weather is good, the heat bearable and its dry. November is a good month to visit as the heat is at a minimum and the landscape still maintains an emerald green from the rainy season. This period however is also when most people journey to Cambodia and crowds at the temples are rather large. However, if you want sunshine and perfect blue skies this is the time of year to visit. From March to May is the hottest time of year with temperatures and humidity reaching levels that most tourists find uncomfortable but crowds are at a minimum so on the plus side you will enjoy the main sites all to yourself! Another excellent time to visit is during the rainy season from June to MidOctober - this is when Cambodia is at its most stunning with beautiful emerald fields, the temples of Angkor are spectacular with lilies in full bloom in the temple' ponds and usually there aren't many tourists around. Hotels offer low season discounts so it's a good time of year for competitive prices. It does rain during the day but showers tend to be mid afternoon, early evening for an hour or so - thus as long as you time your sightseeing correctly this is not a problem. With our expertise we can help you plan your itinerary accordingly. For people
who don't like the heat this is also a good time to visit as temperatures are lower. Cambodia Safety
Is Cambodia Safe? Middle Column One of the most frequent questions our clients and friends overseas ask us is: 'If Cambodia is Safe?' Cambodia may not spring to mind as the most obvious holiday choice; a place to enjoy precious time away from the stresses and strains of everyday life. Archive news-footage of Khmer Rouge atrocities and Princess Diana tending Cambodian landmine victims have combined with general preconceptions about what life must be like in a 'developing' country to make Cambodia the last place some would even consider as a holiday destination. Recent stories in tabloids about Angelina's 'danger trip' in Cambodia don't help to reassure people that Cambodia is in fact a safe place to travel, thus the answer to the question 'Is Cambodia safe?' is most definitely yes! Of course in the past the country was largely inaccessible and a very dangerous place but that was 20 years ago!
Today Cambodia is a relatively safe place to travel. The usual diligence should be taken as you would in any capital city in the world but overall most visitors find Cambodia safer than places like London, Rome or New York. Here are a few Mango travel tips to help you stay safe: Bag Snatching: disparity in wealth does make foreigners an attractive target for bag snatchings. Sensible precautions should be taken to avoid opportunistic theft. Be on your guard against pickpockets and bag snatchers. You should remain particularly vigilant against theft when using public transportation, including inter-city buses, tuk-tuks and motos. Use safety boxes in your hotel to store your valuables and only travel with the essentials. Watch your bags and hold on to them in tuks tuks. Especially late at night be vigilant. However if you do get robbed don't try and resist and just hand everything over. Road Accidents: By far the biggest threat to your safety is traffic accidents. With appalling drivers and improved roads that allow for faster driving, the rate of fatal road accidents is increasing. Always ensure you travel with a safe driver, in an insured vehicle and never travel on intercity roads after dark as this is perilous. At night there are no road lights on intercity roads, trucks and cars travel with no headlights and the road conditions are very dangerous. Refrain from using moto-taxis or going on a motorbike with no helmet. And be careful crossing the roads as traffic can come from any direction! Landmines: there are an estimated 6 million landmines left in Cambodia from the civil war. The main tourist areas have now all been cleared and prove no danger. Most of the landmines are found in the north of the country along the border with Thailand and the old Ho Chi Minh Trail. If you travel in the more remote provinces in the North East and North West (excluding Battambang town) of the country in these remote areas don't stray from the roads and main paths. Food Safety: you shouldn't face any problems eating in established and local restaurants in the main towns. Ice is fine and so are vegetables and most local foods. People do often suffer from an upset stomach but this is also a direct result of being in a different country and from the heat etc. rather than the food itself. Our suggestion is to try local food but avoid market stalls or shacks in the countryside whilst restaurants with a lot of clientele and which have menus and proper facilities are generally fine. Malaria: This is one of the most asked questions and we cannot offer concrete advice as we are not doctors or experts. However there is very little or no malaria at all in Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, Kep and Battambang. Unless you are planning to stay deep in the countryside in a wooden hut with no mosquito nets etc. then you have very little risk of catching malaria. The only areas I would say
to definitely take precautions are the remote provinces of Mondulkiri and Ratanakiri and the Pailin area. At the end of the day nobody wants to catch malaria so if you are only traveling for a few weeks it makes sense to take precautions.

We only had a few days in Phnom Penh but we learned so much in so little time.

From Mango Clients
Nigel (group of 4, Indonesia) Thanks for your efforts, we had a great trip. The tour guide [in Siem Reap] was brilliant - as you know his knowledge of the Hindu and Buddhist history and stories were second to none. The cycle trip was the highlight.
Richard (USA) I entrusted the organization of my first visit to Cambodia to the lovely folks at Mango. I havent regretted that decision for a moment. The tours were first rate and the guides were informative and great companions. All the hotels were excellent choices, lovely oases after a busy day touring. My favorite moments were swimming at the Kulen waterfalls, the temples (all of them!), and lunch with Sophea's family.
Sherry (solo traveler, UK) Thanks for my Mango Cambodia experience! I had a wonderful tour...This 'boutique' tour company really gave me insights into the culture behind the tourist scene, both in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. Cambodia is an exotic and beautiful land, I hope I can return some time.
Victoria Gallo (solo traveler, USA) My trip with Mango exceeded my expectations and I am glad to have a 'made to measure' tour experience.
Anne (group of 3, Belgium) About our trip, I must say that we enjoy it very, very much and I have nothing bad to say about the organisation. The hotels were perfect. The driver and the guide were very kind and always ready to satisfy what we wanted to do.

Christine (USA) The trip I took with Mango Cambodia was the best part of my entire trip in Cambodia, and I saw a side of Cambodia that I would have never seen if I stuck with the museums and other "typical" tourist activities. Thanks a lot for everything! I really appreciate it, and had a lot of fun!
Jan (group of 3, USA) "You set up an incredible trip for us."

Increase in Higher Education in Cambodia due to Tourism

September 17, 2012
Khim Borin, a 26-year-old tour guide by day and law student by night, says he wants to become a lawyer. But he sometimes has trouble staying awake in class during the high tourist season, when he spends hours scaling vertiginous temple steps and baking in the tropical sun. I tell my friends, 'Hit me if you see me falling asleep', he said. The son of a broken and impoverished household, Mr. Khim Borin worked as a bartender and a masseur and installed air-conditioners at hotels before becoming a tour guide. He summarizes his life as 'hard but happy.' The five universities in Siem Reap currently enroll more than 10,000 students. Most of the campuses, which are scattered around the town, are quiet during the day but come to life with the buzz of students' motorcycles as soon as the sun sets.

Background Mango Cambodia was founded by British scriptwriter Anji Loman Field in the spring of 2006, initially to fill a gap in the excursion market. When Anji first arrived in Phnom Penh to work on a BBC drama series, she had never been to a developing country before. There were so many things I wanted to see and do but I was nervous about travelling alone. There didnt seem to be any tour companies offering day trips or accompanied excursions. This frustration led to collaboration with Anjis Cambodian friends, which sowed the first seeds of Mango Cambodia as it is today. Mangos one-day excursions led on to two day tours and then long weekend breaks, until gradually the company found itself operating longer tours. It was a natural progression to set up Mango Cambodia as an officially registered and fully bonded inbound tour company. In late 2007 Mango officially launched its Signature, Made-to-Measure and innovative Pickage holidays. The companys goal is to provide unique itineraries for people who are interested in more than just pagodas and statues who really want to connect with the culture, history, countryside and people of Cambodia. ITINERARY DESIGN When designing itineraries, Mango considers how to enable their discerning clients:
To have adventures but in safety and comfort not too risky but still exciting and intriguing.
To make a real connection with local people, chatting to them about their lives and really getting to understand their culture and lifestyle.
Not to feel packaged and to (sometimes) be in the only vehicle in the car park! To learn about the culture, history and politics of the country and its people. To be travelling with interesting, interested people.
To sample local cuisine that has been hygienically prepared and adapted to the western palate (no claw or beak in the chicken curry!)
To enjoy a wide variety of experiences and see things that are not on the normal tourist trail.
To stay (where possible) in comfortable, individual boutique accommodation rather than large, impersonal hotels.
To have opportunities to be hands-on, to actually try their hands at some of the things the locals do such as harvesting rice or riding an ox cart.
Not to be shepherded into shopping emporiums just because the driver is on commission!

Smiley People - Meet the Mango Team Anji Loman Field Founder & Executive Director
Anji Loman Field, the founder of Mango Cambodia, enjoyed a successful television career in the UK, first researching and producing educational programmes before switching to writing drama scripts. She wrote extensively for flagship BBC shows such as EastEnders, Holby City and Doctors as well as movies and a comedy drama series for the German market. She has also written several plays for BBC Radio 3 and Radio 4. This background stood Anji in good stead to turn her hand to writing educational drama for development, so when a job came up with the BBC World Service Trust in Cambodia she jumped at the chance to do something different with her life. She came to Cambodia in March 2005 to write Taste of Life (click BBC logo), a drama series designed to educate viewers about HIV and AIDS as well as maternal and child health.
Anji soon fell in love with Cambodia and has been living here, pretty much, ever since. But when she first arrived, she was nervous about exploring alone and there didnt seem to be any tour companies offering day trips or accompanied excursions. Always keen to find solutions to problems, Anji collaborated with her Cambodian friends to create her own day trips and detours, which sowed the first seeds of Mango Cambodia as it is today. Having organised countless group holidays for friends and family over the years, Anji naturally found herself planning trips
for friends who were visiting Cambodia. Inspired by the people and places that had most impressed her, she created unique itineraries which her visitors loved. In fact, what began as a simple social exercise had such rave reviews that, in time, it became a natural progression to share the benefits by setting up Mango Cambodia as an officially registered, fully bonded inbound tour company. Still writing drama for development, Anji has been steadily building Mango Cambodias reputation, products and services for nearly four years. She is passionate about Cambodia - its charming people, diverse culture, unique heritage and stunning natural beauty. Her aim is for Mango Cambodias holidays and detours to touch the lives of its clients in ways that will both surprise and delight. Mr. Sophea Pheng Operations Manager
The eldest of four children, Sophea grew up in Kandal province, where his father was the village chief until 2007. He started primary school when he was 6 years old. At that time, his family was very poor - the country had just emerged from the Khmer Rouge regime, so people in rural communities had to really struggle to rebuild their lives. Sopheas family did not have enough food and he had to work very hard to help out on their farm. In 1993, he became a student at Tuol Basan secondary school and took his final exam in 1995. There were only four students out of a hundred who passed the exam and Sophea was one of them! He continued to study until he achieved his High School certificate and then moved to work and study Phnom Penh, obtaining his university degree in 2007 - a BSc in IT. Sophea has recently completed his MBA. He is very popular with Mango clients and particularly enjoys the occasions when he accompanies them on the Phnom Penh Detour or Good Day, Cambodia. I enjoy my work at Mango Cambodia very much!!! he says. We are proud of Sopheas accomplishments and see him as playing a pivotal role in the future of Mango. Mr. Sophanet Pheng (Phanet) Office Manager
Phanet comes from a village in Kandal province, about 60 Km from Phnom Penh city. His father (a farmer) and mother (a midwife) are proud that all four of their children have gone on to university. After graduating from school Phanet came to work and study in Phnom Penh. He recently achieved his degree in Economics. Phanet is Assistant Operations/Office Manager at Mango Cambodia. He speaks very good English, is charming and gets on well with the Mango Cambodia team. He is a conscientious worker and enjoys his job, particularly when dealing with clients.
Piseth Im Chan Operations Assistant
Piseth joined Mango Cambodia in February 2011 as Operations Assistant, helping out with bookings, reservations and general admin as well as tours. His personable nature and charm combine with good English language skills to make him a valuable asset to the team. Piseth is in his third year at university studying tourism and is expected to play an important role in the future of Mango.

How do Cambodians spend their evenings? We start with a sundowner at a bar with unrivalled city views, then head for a traditional Cambodian beer garden/restaurant for dinner. Afterwards, a karaoke venue will give those brave enough a chance to exercise their vocal chords, and a visit to a local night club provides the opportunity to burn off a few calories, Khmer style. This tour will open your eyes!
Visit beautiful Phnom Chisor temple, dating back to the 11th Century. Climb the 500 steps to the top and enjoy fabulous views over the surrounding countryside.

We start the tour with a visit to Wat Nokor, a modern day Theravada Buddhist pagoda which is integrated into the walls of an 11th-century Mahayana Buddhist shrine made of sandstone and laterite. The combination of modern and old is unique to this temple, and makes the site well worth a visit.

Recommended Accommodation Many hotels these days describe themselves as boutique because they think that label will lure in more guests. And its easy to be fooled, until you get there! But we have run our own very successful boutique guest house, so we know what to watch out for. We have carefully chosen the type of boutique hotels in Cambodia that we prefer. They are all boutique in some way, but to differentiate between the different levels we have categorised them as follows: LUXURY high-end, top hotels with magnificent pools, sumptuous rooms and great food. These are perfect relaxation spaces and will make you feel very special. Prices start at around USD $180 per room per night, including breakfast for two. CLASSIC BOUTIQUE intimate, charming properties offering individual comfort and style and warm, personal service with thoughtful touches. Many have pools, nice bars and restaurants. Prices start at around $70 per room per night. INDIVIDUAL CHARM romantic and charming but not as comfortable as boutique (e.g. there might be a fan instead of aircon). Perhaps the service might not be as fast as you would like or the menu a bit limited but if youre fairly laid-back and not overly fussy you can enjoy a very nice stay. Prices start at around $50 per person per night. As with everything else in life, you get what you pay for - but thankfully your money will go much further in Cambodia than in many other countries.
