Private Tour | 2-days wildlife tour in Kaeng Krachan
Why?
A 2-days wildlife tour in Kaeng Krachan National Park is a great way to explore some of the main attractions of the park, and will also give the possibility to see some of the common species. Kaeng Krachan is the largest and one of the best national parks in Thailand, listed as a World Heritage Site. It's home to a wide range of animals including gibbons, langurs, macaques, leopards, clouded leopards, elephants, civets, porcupines and many more. With more than 420 different bird species recorded, many consider the park as the best birdwatching location in Thailand. You won't regret it!
What?
With a 2-day wildlife tour we will be exploring nature from early hours of the day till it gets dark, focusing mainly on wildlife watching. The tours include the following activities; daytime safari drives, jungle hiking, visiting some of the park's main highlights.
Itinerary
Because it is difficult to plan in the wild, our itineraries often get turned upside down. The following itinerary should be considered as an example;
Day 1, 6 am until 6 - 7 pm
On our drive into the park we start with searching for birds and other wildlife from the car. Afterwards we explore the jungle on foot.
After lunch at the park restaurant, we drive to some spots to continue our search for wildlife by walking on the roadside through tall forest near a stream. This area is rich in birds, but it is also one of the better areas to see for example White-handed Gibbons. Often walking this road is more successful in terms of sightings than walking a jungle trail. Partly because of better visibility in the tree tops. But also because the wildlife tends to be less skittish than deeper in the forest.
In the late afternoon we drive past various waterholes in the hope to see some large animals. And finally we slowly drive out of the park to return you to your hotel in the early evening.
Day 2, 6 am until 6 - 7 pm
Early morning the second day, you will be picked up from your hotel. The day starts with a safari drive into the park. We will make some stops here and there to search for wildlife. Followed by some walking.
After the lunch, we do a hike to the Hua Chang cave. And the remaining time of the late afternoon we drive again past various waterholes and forest clearings to test our luck one last time before we leave the park.
We will bring you back to your hotel outside the park.

Reviews from our guests

We had two fantastic days at Kaeng Krachan National Park. Our guide was highly professional and showed great flexibility in adapting his plan to our wishes.
We were truly impressed by his ability to detect wildlife. Thanks to his skills, we were able to observe a wide variety of birds, monkeys, small mammals, insects, and reptiles. The highlight of our experience was seeing a wild elephant in the jungle—an unforgettable moment.
This was a truly memorable experience that we will cherish for a long time.

We enjoyed our tour at Kaen Krachan and our guide was really good. He had a lot of knowledge and did everything in his hands to show us as many animals as possible. We give 4 stars only because we were a bit unfortunate not to see many animals, but as stated, this was completely independent of our guide.
For us this was a great tour

Thank you for an excellent 2 days in Kaeng Krachan NP. The service received from my guide Mong was first class, along with his driver. They were on time each day, and made sure that I saw as many of my target birds as possible, with both patience and good humour. I felt well looked after at all times, and I have no hesitation in recommending their services unequivocally, well done!

It is nice to be in the National Park!
To start the tour at 6am feels to early, dark and cold. Day 2 we started at 7 am, much better! The tour car very dirty!
The tour guide rather enthusiastic, good willing but not so experienced. A good briefing is important which we never had!
All in all, we were lucky to see leopard, gibbons…We are nature lover, injoyed the tour!

Wonderful and informative 2 day tour. My guide Bank and driver found ways to overcome my physical limitations and made the tour fun and comfortable. Thank you so much

We thoroughly enjoyed our two-day private tour. Our guide, Bank, was an excellent spotter and identifier of wildlife and birds. We had two different drivers, one on each day; they were also excellent spotters and just as excited as the rest of us to find wildlife and birds. We found the park to be quite beautiful and the lack of tourists (compared to Khao Yai National Park) to be a plus. We appreciated that Bank did not rush any of our wildlife viewing; we were afforded plenty of time to watch their behaviors. We saw 44 different bird species our first day and 32 the second day (some of which were repeats from the first day). Highlights included watching several dozen Oriental pied and brown hornbills flying in to feed on fig tree fruits, dusky leaf monkeys, white-handed gibbons, and huge water monitors. We highly recommend this tour.

Our 2 day tour was really perfect!
With much know how, care and passion about the park and its animals our guide Moe created two perfect days.
Here are the animals focused and Moe mindes a varied day - from elephant to birds, makakes and gibbons to spiders and snakes.

We booked a 2-day tour to Kaeng Krachan national park with pick-up from our hotel 6.00 AM the first day, and 5.30 AM the second day. We were back at our hotel at 7 PM, so do expect LONG days.
But the animals we were excited to see, are most active in mornings and evenings.
The tour consists of a mixture of sightings from car and hiking along trails. Do expect some bumpy roads and moderate difficulty on the trails.
But the tour is all worth it, even though we didn´t encounter any big feline as hoped.
Our guide was very good at explaining and knew a great deal about the animals, plants and landscape we passed. He was also eminent at spotting birds and other animals hiding in the forest.
Thanks for a great experience, the whole family learning a lot about Thailands wildlife in those 2 days.

Beautiful Park and nice trails
Hard to see wildlife as it appears in the plan: Mostly gibbons and birds
Lot of limitations in the activities: some trails closed, cannot go anywhere... Not sure if everything was arranged to get as close as what I asked
Driver driving fast and made us wasting time which is not professional
The team kindly helped us when we realized we forgot some belongings in the truck
