Kaziranga Elephant Safari Booking

The elephants used for safaris in Kaziranga are well-trained and managed by experienced mahouts (elephant keepers). These mahouts have an intimate knowledge of the park and its inhabitants, ensuring your safety and enhancing your safari experience. An early morning elephant ride is one of the best ways to enjoy wildlife in Kaziranga National Park. The ride takes you through selected grassland areas where animals are often seen. Every ride is managed by the forest department. A trained mahout stays with you during the full ride and guides the elephant while following all safety rules. Elephant safari seats are very limited and depend on your travel date, visitor category, open forest range, and forest department rules. Please send your travel details as early as possible. Your preferred range, seat, or time is never confirmed until availability is checked. Before booking, please read the Kaziranga safari permit tips. You should also compare the Kaziranga safari zones and understand the complete safari booking process. If you want a longer wildlife trip, you can also visit our Kaziranga Gypsy Safari Booking page.
