In Dong Nai especially Nam Cat Tien National Park is one of the most important protected areas in Indochina as it harbors a number of Indochinese endemics, many of which are largely restricted to Vietnam. Nam Cat Tien has an area of about 720 km2 and protects one of the largest areas of lowland tropical forests left in Vietnam. Since 2011. Surrounding Nam Cat Tien are also having nice environment for birds such as Ma Da and Thac Mai.

Bird photography in Dong Nai we are mainly enjoy from the bird sites (bird hide or bird blind), with the support of local people who manage the sites, the chance to have nice bird photos are higher as well as the distance of photographer to the birds are closer that will help you have more chance to have a quality image. There are several bird sites in some different places in Dong Nai. Depend on the weather and actual situation then I will choose the best available bird sites for us.
