Besides one-horned Rhinos the other major wild attractions include a significant presence of Indian Elephants, Tigers, Indian Bison, Barasingha or Swamp Deer, Leopard Cats, Capped Langurs, Wild Boars and Buffalos, Pythons etc.

Elephant safari is the most enjoyed safari to explore the wide varieties of wildlife in the Kaziranga National Park .The vast area covered by the Elephant Grass can be best viewed when you are on an elephant's back. The elephant ride is best enjoyed in the early hours of dawn. Here you get an opportunity to see herds of Indian Elephants, One-horned Rhinoceros and many other wild animals from a very close distance. Such a close encounter with the animals in Kaziranga National Park makes your trip quite memorable. Elephant safari covers Baguri, Hole Path, Mihimukh, Kohora-Central Path and Arimarah. When out for an elephant ride, do wear trousers fully covering your legs to avoid abrasions from the coarse elephant-grass.

The best time to visit the Kaziranga National Park is from mid-November to early April. The low-lying grasslands of the park get flooded with the waters of Brahmaputra River in the monsoons. Because of floods the animals migrate from one place to another.
