Eco Tour Safari Park Dhaka offers one of the most immersive nature experiences available in the Dhaka Division, combining three distinct destinations in a single guided journey: Vawal National Park, Safari Park, and the tranquil nature reserve of Nuhas Polli. Set in Gazipur, just outside Dhaka, this eco-tour is built for travelers who want to trade city streets for dense forests, wildlife encounters, and quiet, walkable landscapes.

Unlike a typical city sightseeing tour, this itinerary is centered entirely on nature — jungle safaris, guided forest walks, waterfall hikes, and evenings spent stargazing or gathered around a campfire. It’s a genuine escape into Bangladesh’s wilder side, accessible as a full-day or extended trip from Dhaka.

Vawal National Park: Biodiversity at Its Best

The tour begins at Vawal National Park, renowned for its rich biodiversity and lush landscapes. Located in Gazipur, the park spans dense forests, rivers, and grasslands, home to a striking range of wildlife including elephants, tigers, leopards, and numerous bird species. Guests join a guided jungle safari through the park, with genuine opportunities for wildlife sightings and birdwatching along the way.

Safari Park: An Immersive Wildlife Experience

Also located in Gazipur, Safari Park takes the wildlife experience a step further, allowing visitors to observe animals in their natural habitats from the comfort of safari vehicles. The park offers a range of safari formats, including guided tours and self-drive options, with the chance to encounter lions, elephants, giraffes, and zebras. It’s a particularly strong stop for families and dedicated wildlife enthusiasts, offering close encounters without the constraints of a traditional zoo setting.

Nuhas Polli: A Nature Retreat

The final stop on this eco tour safari park itinerary is Nuhas Polli, a nature reserve and eco-tourism destination known for its picturesque, serene landscapes. Here, the pace slows considerably — activities include hiking, camping, and wildlife viewing amid lush forests, cascading waterfalls, and quiet streams. Nuhas Polli is also notable for its commitment to sustainable tourism practices, working to preserve its pristine environment for future visitors.

A Day-by-Day Look at the Itinerary

Arrival and Vawal National Park
The trip begins with arrival at accommodation near Vawal National Park, followed by an afternoon guided jungle safari through the park’s forests and grasslands, keeping watch for elephants, tigers, and bird species along the way.

Safari Park Adventure
An early morning departure heads to Safari Park, where a guided safari tour explores the park’s diverse habitats and wildlife. A picnic lunch is enjoyed within the park itself, surrounded by scenic views and ongoing wildlife sightings. Evenings return to accommodation near Vawal National Park for rest and reflection, often around a campfire sharing the day’s wildlife stories.

Nuhas Polli Nature Exploration
The journey continues toward Nuhas Polli, with stops at scenic viewpoints and local villages along the way to soak in the culture and landscape. Once at the reserve, guests explore on foot or via guided hike, discovering hidden waterfalls and serene forest scenery. The evening is left open for stargazing or a bonfire session, followed by final moments to enjoy the tranquil surroundings before departure.

This itinerary balances wildlife encounters, active nature exploration, and quiet relaxation, and can be adjusted based on personal preferences and available time.

Walking the Silent Forest

A defining feature of this eco tour is the emphasis on walking rather than rushing between stops. Guided forest walks through Vawal National Park and Nuhas Polli allow travelers to genuinely experience the “silent forest” — the sounds of wildlife, rustling canopy, and flowing water replacing the noise of the city. This slower, walking-based approach sets the tour apart from more vehicle-heavy safari experiences elsewhere in the region.

Transportation, Meals, and Guide

This tour includes an air-conditioned private car with driver and local transportation throughout, covering all movement between Vawal National Park, Safari Park, and Nuhas Polli. Meals include lunch, street food, tea, and water throughout the day, with the tour conducted entirely in English by a professional local guide. With an easy-to-moderate fitness level, the tour is accessible to most travelers, though the walking and hiking components mean reasonably comfortable footwear is recommended.
