Wild animals have their own habits and instincts, especially since they live in their natural habitat. While you can keep your hopes up to see many rare species listed in the Red Data Book, sightings are random and cannot be 100% guaranteed or perfectly clear. It all depends on the weather, the time of day, and animal behavior.
Nam Cat Tien is home to wild elephants; though they are herbivores, they are still wild animals, so we must maintain a safe distance if we encounter them. There are also Siamese crocodiles, but they mostly live deep inside the Bau Sau (Crocodile Lake) wetlands, which requires a 7km trek from the main trail, making them quite rare to spot. Regarding insects, we always carry a fully equipped first-aid kit and our guides are well-trained in first-aid care for insect bites, though such incidents are extremely rare.
The rainy season runs from late April to September. However, whether it is sunny or rainy, the jungle offers uniquely beautiful experiences. During the rainy season, we will provide personal raincoats to make moving through the forest easier. Don’t let a few rain showers hold you back from this exciting journey!
Yes, you can! Though we not recommend to do so. Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience curated by Trip Chip Travel. It is the best time to spot rare wildlife coming down to the riverbank for a morning drink, as well as various precious bird species active at dawn.

Swimming is perfectly fine during the dry season. However, during the rainy season, the water flows very fast and the rocks become extremely slippery, making swimming completely unsafe and strictly prohibited.
This depends on your request. However, for solo male travelers, a male guide will be assigned. Since this itinerary requires a good amount of physical stamina, we generally prioritize male guides for this tour.
