Kaziranga, famous for its one-horned rhino, is one of the most remote national parks in India. It covers some 430 square kilometres of very varied terrain.
Elephant Grass, cane, forest and swamps are all home to the varied wildlife. Apart from rhino there are also wild buffalo, sambar, wild boar and the endangered barasingha or swamp deer, renowned for its impressive antlers. There are also otters and dolphins in the river and plenty of water pools which attract fishing birds such as pelicans and Pallas’s fishing eagle.
Kaziranga has a tiger count of 86, giving it the highest density tiger population in India, though the lush jungle means that it is difficult to spot them.
The substantial core area is separated into three ranges and between you and your naturalist you will decide which ranges are best suited for each game drive. Alternatively, you may view the wildlife from the back of an elephant (arranged locally).
