About APOPO Visitor Center

Meet the "HeroRATs" — African giant pouched rats trained to sniff out landmines — and learn how APOPO’s teams are clearing Cambodia’s minefields. Tours include a live detection demonstration.

Why we love it

An hour here turns an abstract tragedy into something concrete and hopeful, and the rats are genuinely astonishing to watch work.

Good to Know

How long should I plan for APOPO Visitor Center?

One to two hours is right for most visitors — it pairs well with a temple morning or an Old Market evening.
