Leaving the high-octane ambiance of Ho Chi Minh City behind, we will head to Dong Nai Province to experience the tranquility of the rainforest wildlife at Nam Cat Tien National Park. The tour enables us to explore the jungle’s biodiversity through short treks and to perceive the sounds and aromas of jungle life as well.
Day 1: Ho Chi Minh City – Cat Tien National Park
8:00 AM Pick up at your hotel and depart for Cat Tien National Park.
Have lunch at the local restaurant. After check-in, you will trek a 6-7 km trail, the entire journey into the jungle under the shaded canopy. This trail leads you through rocky terrain, slopes, and small hills under pristine rainforest.
There is a higher probability of seeing an array of wildlife when moving quietly along the jungle trails, including primates, amphibians, reptiles & insects, which come out to forage during the day. Then go back to the center and relax.
Around 18 Pm, start the Night Animal Spotlighting (Night Safari). The actual active period of wildlife happens mainly at dusk and throughout the night till dawn. Therefore, "night spotlighting" offers the best & convenient way to see the natural habitat of the samba deer, wild pigs, porcupines, gaur, weasels & civet cats, barking deer…
Day 2: Visit Bau Sau - Ho Chi Minh
Breakfast will be served by the rangers in the forest before the visit to Bau Sau (Crocodile Lake). It takes a 10 Km drive and a 5 Km trek through the jungle to reach this area. Majestic towering trees, curling lianas and bamboos, moss, mushrooms & the old-growth rainforest are there to welcome you into its bosom.
If you are lucky, you can see wild animals along the trail. Some animals, such as primates, peafowl, water birds & fishing eagles, can also be observed in the lake area.
Coming back to the center for a rest and lunch before going back to Ho Chi Minh, end the tour in Nam Cat Tien for 2 days.
What to bring: hat, water, snacks, insect repellent & good walking shoes.
