Itinerary
Step into the lush landscapes of Son Trà Nature Reserve and discover Vietnam’s unique biodiversity through the lens of a camera. In this half-day experience led by Viet Endangered Narratives (VEN)—an award-winning social enterprise dedicated to wildlife conservation through storytelling—you'll learn the basics of wildlife photography and contribute to environmental advocacy.
Your journey begins with a warm welcome and orientation at VEN’s base in Da Nang, where you’ll be introduced to the mission of VEN, the ecological significance of Son Trà, and the fundamentals of using professional camera gear. Then, accompanied by expert guides, you’ll venture into the reserve to observe and photograph red-shanked douc langurs, tropical birds, butterflies, and forest life.
After the exploration, you’ll craft a short visual story using your best shots—with optional guidance from the VEN team. Your final piece will be featured on VEN’s social media platforms, allowing you to raise awareness and share your voice with a global community.
