Most of the time, we get to see rhinos first time in zoo. So watching rhinos move around at such close quarters can be extremely thrilling and a special experience all together. If you are lucky enough, you may spot two rhinos fighting, the sight of which will not only enthrall you but jolt you as well for sometime. Rhino sightings not very rare in Kaziranga and you may see this magnificent creature roaming around.

Wildlife safari is a good way to get good views of the rhino and other animals in the park. Safari can be under taken at Kaziranga by jeeps and elephants only. Elephant rides are the best way to see the rhinos and the Bengal florican. The safari tours can be booked the previous evening at the park administrative Centre in Kohora.
