Full description

Begin your adventure with a convenient hotel pickup around 7:00 PM. Before setting off, join a short but essential safety and skills briefing. Learn about the proper use of flashlights, wildlife observation techniques, and responsible behavior in natural habitats. This ensures not only your safety but also the protection of the animals.

Once ready, hop on a motorbike (driven by experienced local drivers) and head toward the peaceful northern area of Ganh Dau. The ride itself is an experience—cool night air, quiet roads, and a sense of anticipation as you leave the city lights behind.

Upon reaching the forest edge, the real adventure begins. The safari route stretches approximately 25 km, combining slow motorbike riding (around 20 km/h) and a 4 km guided walk along safe, pre-selected paths. With flashlights in hand, scan both sides of the trail, searching for nocturnal wildlife in their natural environment.

Depending on luck and season, you may encounter a variety of fascinating creatures such as snakes resting or hunting, spiders and unique insects, owls hidden in the trees, slow loris (a rare and special sight), and other small forest animals.

What makes this tour truly special is the real-time interpretation. Whenever an animal is spotted, your guides will stop and share insights about its behavior, habitat, and ecological role. This is not a zoo—it’s a genuine, respectful wildlife experience.

To ensure quality and safety, each group is accompanied by an English-speaking guide for international guests and a local wildlife specialist with deep knowledge of the forest. The tour is designed to be immersive but not physically demanding, making it suitable for curious travelers who enjoy nature and soft adventure.

After approximately 2–3 hours of exploration, return to the local area for a simple Vietnamese dinner—an opportunity to relax, share stories, and reflect on your discoveries. Finally, be transferred back to your hotel, ending the experience around 1 – 2am.
