From $0

Day 1
HO CHI MINH CITY – NAM CAT TIEN NATIONAL PARK

Today our tour guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel in the city centre. We leave the busy city of Saigon and head to a mountainous area full of roadside rubber and green coffee plantations. A drive of approximately 3.5 hours takes you to a former volcanic crater, known as lava tubes. After crossing Dong Nai River to enter Nam Cat Tien National Park, you now can start experiencing the wildlife. We take a light afternoon trek through the forest to a local bear rehabilitation centre. The bears here have been rescued from illegal traffickers, hopefully many of them will be able to return to the wild after some time at the sanctuary. Tonight, you will stay at Forest Floor Lodge, an eco-resort located in the middle of the jungle near the Ben Cu River.

Day 2
NAM CAT TIEN PARK VISIT

We take a drive of about 8km to the forest then hike to the crocodile lake with lots of opportunities to see plentiful bird life and perhaps, even the Siamese crocodile, a critically endangered species. This is one of the last places in the world where they can be seen in the wild. In the afternoon, a boat cruise along the Ben Cu River offers you the chance to spot the varied wildlife on the riverbanks. After dinner, we will take a night drive into the park using a spotlight to observe nocturnal wildlife. Typical animals seen at night include deer, civet, guar, mongoose, macaque, snakes and other small species. The wildlife you will encounter depends on the season and the habitat (the most promising time for spotting is in the dry season from December to April). Overnight at Forest Floor Lodge in Nam Cat Tien National Park. 

Day 3
NAM CAT TIEN – HO CHI MINH CITY

After breakfast, you will visit the gibbon rescue centre to learn more about the vital rehabilitation and teaching activities conducted there. After that, you will pack your bags and drive back to Ho Chi Minh City. Tour concludes.
