Nam Cat Tien – Journey to the wilderness

Suitable for everyone

Cat Tien National Park is one of the very few places in Vietnam where travelers have a chance to see all kinds of wildlife in nature, thanks to the herculean efforts of Vietnamese and international preservers through recent decades. 

In there, we found invaluable experiences that we wish to partly contribute to preserving and developing, as well as sharing them and accompanying nature lovers on diverse journeys to this wonderful park. 

This two-day journey to the wilderness will give you an overview of the flora and fauna. The program is designed for everyone, including families, kids, seniors, or a weekend getaway with friends. Come here, you will have a chance to truly connect with nature through a variety of activities such as walking, soaking in streams, and cycling. The night tour will especially give you a pleasant surprise!

Details

Departing from Ho Chi Minh City at 9 am (to avoid traffic jams), your tour guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel and head towards Dong Nai to reach Nam Cat Tien National Park. This is one of the very few places in Vietnam where you have a chance to see kinds of wildlife in nature. Nam Cat Tien After a 3-hour drive, you will arrive at the park entrance and then step into the wilderness after crossing the Dong Nai River by boat. Then, you will check in at the accommodation, which is a standard national park room. Staying there is convenient for you to join various activities and more; it’s a way to contribute to the park's conservation efforts. You will have lunch at a restaurant in the park (not included in the tour price). Then, after the 3-hour journey away from the bustling city, it's time to rest and prepare for your encounters with the wild. In the afternoon, you will meet a local guide who is also a park ranger. To start, you will visit the Nature Museum, which preserves and showcases the biodiversity of Cat Tien National Park, and the Botanical Garden, home to over 300 plant species from the southeastern corridor of Vietnam. Nearby, you can find majestic redwood and hardwood trees, valued for their beauty and rarity. Nam Cat Tien National Park After that, under the shady canopies, you will embark on a 16 km (one-way) bike ride* and a 600m walk to reach the end point of this journey - a 400-year-old Ficus Benjamina Tree growing by a crystal-clear stream. *If you prefer not to cycle, the guide can arrange a car transfer with a surcharge. Few travelers frequent this area, so you can take the chance to immerse yourself in this serene stream and enjoy the tranquil surroundings! You will return to the park centre in the late afternoon, rest, and enjoy dinner.  Option: Night Safari Experience* Nam Cat Tien Night Safari Experience After dinner, a special experience awaits you: “night safari” to observe the nightlife of animals in the park. You will board an open-top truck and join a park ranger who will use a torch to help you see nocturnal inhabitants as they forage, including sambar deer, wild pigs, porcupines, gaur, weasels, civet cats, barking deer, mongoose, and nightjars. This rare opportunity allows you to witness wildlife up close! Though the car runs slowly and the tour guide is very knowledgeable about nature, sightings are not guaranteed, as nature can be unpredictable.  *Should you wish to partake in this exceptional tour, kindly inquire for further details.
You will welcome early morning in the fresh air within the park. Then, you will have breakfast at the restaurant and get ready for all day in nature! After that, your guide will take you to Bear and Wild Cat Rescue Station to give you a deep insight into the fauna, including leopards, crocodiles, gibbons, langurs, and peafowl. Then, you will take a walk to the rainforest through the shaded paths. Along the way, you will have an opportunity to observe various species of insects, birds, and other animals, and don’t forget to bring a binocular if you have one! On the way, you will have rest time at the impressive ancient Tung tree before looping back to the park center. After checking out, you will have lunch and bid farewell to the park ranger before returning to Ho Chi Minh City. The journey is expected to conclude at 5 pm - end of services. Note: Instead of returning to Saigon, you can combine this tour with a beach extension in Lagi or Hoa Thang, on the outskirts of Mui Ne, to enjoy the beach at your own leisure.
