SEE RESCUED WILDLIFE AT THE CONSERVATION CENTRE
Observe primates and other rare animals—including black-shanked douc langurs, yellow-cheeked gibbons, bears and turtles—receiving specialist care after being rescued from illegal trafficking or hunters’ traps.
TREK THROUGH PRIMARY FOREST
A challenging yet absorbing trek through Bù Gia Mập’s primary forest takes you deep into one of south-eastern Vietnam’s most unspoilt green landscapes.
A RESTORATIVE LUNCH BY THE STREAM
After trekking through the forest, pause beside the clear Đắk Ka Stream, rest on cool rocks and listen to the water flowing beneath the calls of forest birds.
WADE THROUGH ĐẮK KA STREAM
Wading through Đắk Ka Stream reveals a quieter side of Bình Phước, where clear water winds around large boulders beneath the canopy of an old borderland forest.
