Leave the city behind and venture into the lowland forests of Dong Nai for a high-reward night of herping in one of southern Vietnam\u2019s most accessible reptile and amphibian hotspots. Just 3\u20134 hours from Ho Chi Minh City, the Dinh Quan area offers a notable diversity of snakes, frogs, geckos, and other nocturnal life among a mix of lowland forest, bamboo thickets, and river-edge trails.<\/p>

The tour begins at approximately 1:00pm with departure from Ho Chi Minh City. After checking in to a local hotel around 4:30pm, there\u2019s time for dinner and a supply stop before we head out to our main herping site, roughly 25 km from town. From around 19:00 until late, we explore a variety of high-yield forest stops on foot, covering key habitat types in search of targets and a wide variety of targets. Drop-off at your hotel in HCMC after midnight.<\/p>

Th\u00e1c Mai is home to a broad mix of forest and edge species and is best known as one of southern Vietnam\u2019s top Elapid hotspots, with regular sightings of Banded Krait (Bungarus fasciatus<\/em>), Blue Krait (Bungarus candidus<\/em>), King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah<\/em>), Monocled Cobra (Naja kaouthia<\/em>), Indochinese Spitting Cobra (Naja siamensis<\/em>), and Small-spotted Coral Snake (Calliophis maculiceps<\/em>), an incredible list of mega targets for many of our guests. After rain, good numbers of frogs, narrow-mouths, and forest geckos also feature heavily, often in good numbers.<\/p>

Whether you\u2019re a visiting herper, wildlife photographer, or simply keen to check out some pristine Vietnamese forest after dark, this short-format trip offers a rewarding and flexible introduction to southern Vietnam\u2019s herping biodiversity and key species.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
