Kaziranga Travel Guide: Safaris and the One-Horned Rhino

Kaziranga National Park is one of Asia's great wildlife destinations, protecting two-thirds of the world's one-horned rhinos on the Brahmaputra floodplain.

What you'll see

Beyond rhinos — seen on almost every safari — Kaziranga shelters tigers, wild elephants, swamp deer and superb birdlife amid tall grass and wetlands.

The ranges

The central (Kohora) and western (Bagori) ranges are best for rhino and elephant; the eastern (Agoratoli) range is a birder's favourite. Morning jeep safaris give the best activity.

Planning tips

The park is open roughly November to April. It's an easy drive from Guwahati and pairs naturally with a Shillong extension.

  • Open ~Nov–April
  • Morning safaris are best
  • Book safari permits in advance
  • Combine with Guwahati & Shillong

We arrange Kaziranga safaris, lodges and naturalists — ask for net rates.
