Kaziranga - Rhinos, Elephants, Gibbons, Birds and the Golden Tiger

Overview

Kaziranga National Park is one of India’s most iconic wildlife landscapes and a place where conservation success is visible at nearly every turn. Set along the floodplains of the Brahmaputra River in northeastern India, the park is defined by vast elephant grass meadows, wetlands, oxbow lakes, and pockets of tropical forest that create exceptional habitat for wildlife. Best known for protecting the world’s largest population of the endangered one-horned rhinoceros, Kaziranga also supports healthy populations of Bengal tigers, Asian elephants, wild water buffalo, swamp deer, and an extraordinary diversity of birdlife. Seasonal flooding shapes the ecosystem, renewing the landscape and sustaining its remarkable abundance. For photographers and wildlife travelers, Kaziranga offers some of the best opportunities in India to experience large mammals in open habitat, often with dramatic morning light and rich natural behavior unfolding across the grasslands.
