We booked the afternoon tour to Kampong Khleang and it was really great ! The best part of the tour was drinking a beer waiting for the sunset in the motorboat on the Tonlé Sap Lake. What a moment ! The guide is as nice as he is interesting : we learned so much and laughed as well … how could that be better ?
We would definitely recommend this tour and more especially we would recommend this guide (for any other tour!)

What an amazing experience we had with Buffalo Trails. Our guide Chim Sopheap was great and he has a great knowledge of the culture, architecture and life of the Khmer Empire.
We spent two days visiting various temples: the famous ones, of course, but also smaller, less visited temples in the jungle that he showed us.
On the third day we went to Kampong Khleang at Tonlé Sap Lake and took a boat trip. Here too, our guide explained nature and life at the lake.
I can really recommend Buffalo Trails

We did the day your of the Tonlé Sap and really enjoyed it! Our guide was kind and shared interesting information about rural Cambodia and life around the lake. We started by trying delicious coconut rice cooked in bamboo, and stopped by a crocodile and fish farm before exploring the village of Kampong Khleang (with houses on stilts). The homestay where we had lunch was great - we helped the host cook, ate delicious fried fish and had a quick nap in the hammock before a boat tour on the lake. We would recommend Buffalo trails! :)

We were on a private tour with So (and a private car / driver) for a 3 days tour visiting the temples of Angkor Wat, including a hike to river of the 1000 lingas and the wonderful Banteay Srey temple. On the third day we made an excursion to the Kampong Khleang fishing village and Tonle Sap great lake, including the Roluos temples. The preparation of tour with So went perfect; he adapted the tour our demands; the 3 days were a pure highlight with lot of detailed information and visits to local restaurants / markets. My highest recommendations to So (and his organisation Buffalo Trails).

We did the excursion for a day + a night at a homestay in Kampong Khleang on Tonlé Sap Lake, with the French-speaking guide Mr Youk. Everything was great!
The organized visits, the boat trip, the night with locals, the visit to the village, the cooking class with Téou who is so caring. We were a family with our 7 year old daughter who shared great moments with the children with whom we spent the night, but also with Téou.
Life in this village is very different from what we have seen in the rest of the country, and the times spent in Kampong Khleang will remain marked in our memories.

One wonderful day in Kompong Khleang with the greatest guide Mr Nan and Mr Prohm the driver.
We had a great cooking class at Mrs Teav’s home, we had great moments with smiley children on our way to the boat. Mr Nan loves to show his countries’ wonders and take the time to answer to any questions you may ask. It was a real pleasure to spend the day with him.
Then, Kompong Khleang is a beautiful and typical Cambodian village, which isn’t touristic at all… it was such a great experience.
Thanks you, Nan and Prohm you are such a great team!

I did a floating village tour where we were taken on a small motorboat through one of the floating Villages (Mechrey). I had a great time, the guide was friendly, and we were the only ones touring then.We unfortunately were blocked by the high water level, but our tour guide skillfully manouvered us back to the base. I recommend this tour as a way to see how people live in floating villages and support the local economy. Thanks 🙏
