Cát Tiên National Park

Cát Tiên National Park is a protected area in southern Vietnam’s Đồng Nai province that conserves lowland tropical rainforest, wetlands and riverine habitats. The park is a national protected area established in the early 1990s to preserve a fragment of southern lowland rainforest and its wildlife.

The park supports a diverse assemblage of mammals, primates, reptiles and birds typical of Indo-Malayan lowland forests, and contains wetlands and seasonally flooded areas important for resident and migratory species. Trails, observation towers and ranger-led activities enable wildlife viewing and environmental education.

Cát Tiên was designated a national park to protect remaining lowland rainforest in this region and has been the focus of habitat management and anti-poaching efforts. It also contains areas of archaeological and cultural interest.

The park is in southern Vietnam, in Đồng Nai province, accessed by road from Ho Chi Minh City and nearby provincial towns.

• Best time to visit: Dry-season visits from December to April offer easier access on trails and higher chances of wildlife sightings than the wet season.
• Visitor services: The park includes established trails and ranger stations; guided night walks and canopy observations are available through park authorities.
