Description

The tour begins with hotel pickup around 7:00 PM, followed by a safety and skills briefing covering flashlight use, wildlife observation, and responsible behavior in natural habitats to protect guests and animals.

Afterward, ride on a motorbike driven by experienced local drivers toward the quiet northern area of Ganh Dau. The journey features cool night air and peaceful roads away from city lights.

At the forest edge, start a 25 km safari combining slow motorbike riding (around 20 km/h) and a 4 km guided walk on safe, pre-selected trails. Use provided flashlights to scan the surroundings for nocturnal wildlife.

Depending on season and luck, spot creatures such as snakes, spiders, unique insects, owls, slow loris, and other small forest animals in their natural environment.

Your guides will stop when an animal is found to provide real-time explanations about its behavior, habitat, and ecological role. The experience prioritizes respectful wildlife observation rather than captivity.

Each group is accompanied by an English-speaking guide and a local wildlife expert, ensuring safety and immersive learning. The tour is suitable for travelers who enjoy nature and gentle adventure without physical strain.
