Hello everyone!
I am just wondering which National Park is the best to visit in Vietnam? My husband and I are looking for best wildlife, easily accessible, and easiest to navigate (preferably with a guide). We are not big into hiking, nor do we have the equipment to be serious about it (running shoes only). 2 days would be fine.
I have checked out these, and think they could be good, but looking for people to respond that have actually been to these places:
Ba Be
Bach Ma
Ba Vi
Phong Nha-Ke Bang (for the caves)
Thanks a bunch! Any info will be helpful!

Cuc Phung, near Ninh Binh, is pretty good. If you just go for the day you can do a couple of short walks and see the primate rescue centre or you could stay overnight and do a longer walk.
You can also do a fabulous walk across Cat Ba national park, but it's much harder.
I don't know that you'll see many animals in any park.
Phong Nga caves is quite different. The only walking you'll do is up the hill to the big cave. With the other caves you're mostly on a boat.

There are no major animal attractions in Vietnam - by this I mean big game, etc. - which would draw in these tourists and also help to save the parks from being plundered!
I am familiar with Bach Ma and it is simple and lovely for a visit - but expect to do some hiking to get off the beaten track! This park is reasonably good for bird watching in season. There are some old French built houses which have been rebuilt as Inns; I feel the most reasonable (yet basic) is the Government accommodation at about 200,000 VND per night.
VN has not really done much for hiking or nature walking. Sadly the Park authorities seem to think karaoke is required so even at Bach Ma (which is one of the best parks) there is a karaoke built but unused when I was there!
