For the first time after 161 years of establishment and development, Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens, the green symbol of the city named after Uncle Ho, has officially launched a unique night tour, opening a mysterious door to the world of wild animals. "When the night falls" is not just a simple tour, but also a fascinating journey of discovery, taking visitors into a completely different space, where the secrets of nature are revealed under the magical moonlight.
The "When the night falls" night tour is held in the 16.8-hectare area of the Zoo, offering a completely new perspective on the lives of animals when the night falls. Different from the hustle and bustle of the day, the animal world at night brings a quiet, mysterious feeling, where visitors can listen to the familiar sounds of nature and observe the mysterious habits of wild animals.
Night tour is shared by Thao Cam Vien Fanpage for visitors to visit.
The program takes place every Saturday evening, with two flexible time slots: 7pm - 8pm and 8:15pm - 9:15pm, making it convenient for visitors to choose a suitable time. Each trip is limited to 10 - 20 guests, ensuring comfort and privacy for each participant. The tour is for visitors from 10 - 65 years old, with a ticket price of 200,000 VND/person. The number of guests and the number of trips are strictly controlled so as not to affect the natural life of animals.
The journey of discovery will take visitors to nocturnal animals such as hyenas, leopards, tigers, water birds and herbivores. This is a rare opportunity to witness how these animals live in their natural environment after dark, something that is difficult to observe clearly during the day. Visitors will admire the dramatic hunting moments, graceful feeding performances, and the daily activities of animals in the quiet space of the night.

Not only stopping at observation, the program also creates conditions for visitors to interact directly with some animal species, helping them understand more deeply about the habits, behaviors and special biological mechanisms of each species. One of the special highlights of the tour is the phenomenon of eyes glowing in the dark - a great adaptation that helps animals hunt and orient in low-light environments.

To ensure a complete and safe night tour experience at Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens, visitors should note some important recommendations. First of all, to facilitate movement in the large zoo grounds and avoid insect bites, visitors should prioritize choosing long-sleeved clothes and comfortable sneakers.
Visitors will be taken on a tour by special vehicle.
In addition, strict compliance with the instructions of the organizers is extremely necessary, not only to protect the safety of visitors themselves but also to ensure the safety and comfort of animals. Specifically, visitors are only allowed to take photos under the guidance of the tour guide, and absolutely do not use flash during the tour. The use of flash can cause panic or affect the natural behavior of animals, especially those that are active at night.
To ensure the appropriate number of visitors and not affect the lives of animals, the Zoo requires visitors to register for the tour at least 10 days before the departure date. After registering, visitors need to complete the necessary procedures 5 days before the departure date to ensure a place to join the tour.
Complying with these recommendations and regulations not only helps visitors have an enjoyable and memorable night travel experience, but also demonstrates each person's respect and responsibility for the natural environment and wildlife.
