Day 1

Ecological Trail & Night Safari

Part 1: Ecological trail

After crossing the river and meeting up with the guide at the Park Headquarters, you will begin the trek to the nearest giant – the 500-year-old Tung tree. After that the guide will take you through a small path heading up north, deep into the jungle to discover the secret beauty of many gigantic perennial plants such as Lagerstroemia Ovalfolia (Bang Lang), Tetrameles nudiflora (Tung), Ancistrolandus tectorius (Trung quan), Afzelia cyclocarpa (Go). The trek also covers the wild gibbon area where many gibbons are frequently spotted in early mornings. Final checkpoints include the botanical garden and the Heaven’s Rapids (Thac Troi) on the way back to the HQ.

Part 2: Night Safari

Most visitors to Cat Tien National Park are unaware that the actual active period for a great number of wildlife happens mainly at dusk and throughout the night till dawn. This is true for a large variety of mammals, amphibians, reptiles & insect species. The jungle literally comes alive in the dark and the probability of seeing animals in their most active period is by being near their food & drinking water source. Night spotlighting therefore offers the best and convenient way to see the animals in their natural habitat.

18:30 Go the the Park HQ and start the night animal spotlighting

19:30 Come back and enjoy a hearty Vietnamese dinner at the lodge.

Dao Tien Primate Center

On a beautiful isle 5 minute upstream from the ferry station, sits Dao Tien – a center specializing in the rescue, rehabilitation and release of the endangered primates found in the surrounding regions. Many golden-checked gibbons, black shanked doucs, silvered langurs and pygmy lorises here had been victims of illegal trade and now are given a chance to rehabilitate and wait for release in this center.
