Kaziranga vs Jim Corbett: Which Wildlife Safari to Choose (2026)

Kaziranga and Jim Corbett are two of India's most famous national parks, but they showcase very different wildlife and landscapes. Here's how to pick — or why you might do the North East's Kaziranga next.

Kaziranga in brief

Assam's UNESCO World Heritage grassland is home to two-thirds of the world's one-horned rhinos, plus wild elephants, swamp deer and tigers. Jeep and elephant-back safaris cross vast Brahmaputra floodplain scenery.

Jim Corbett in brief

India's oldest national park, in the Uttarakhand foothills, is famed for tigers and its riverine sal-forest setting. Well-established and easy to reach from Delhi.

Which should you choose?

Choose Corbett for classic tiger-forest safaris near Delhi; choose Kaziranga for guaranteed rhino sightings, elephants and dramatic grassland — plus the chance to pair it with Meghalaya or Assam's tea country.

  • Kaziranga: rhinos, elephants, grasslands (Assam)
  • Corbett: tigers, sal forest (Uttarakhand)
  • Kaziranga pairs with Meghalaya & tea gardens
  • Both best in the dry winter–spring season
