Seven Rhinos Luxury

KAZIRANGA BANDHAVGARH TIGER RESERVE

Overview — The Floodplains of Giants and Ancient Rivers

Kaziranga is India’s great Eastern wilderness — a vast, living floodplain shaped by the Brahmaputra River, home to the world’s largest population of the Greater One-Horned Rhinoceros. Its sweeping grasslands, marshes, oxbow lakes and semi-evergreen forests create one of the planet’s richest megafauna habitats.
Here, rhinos graze in the misty dawn, herds of elephants move like grey shadows, and wild buffalo stand tall against golden grass. Tigers remain elusive yet powerful, thriving in this prey-abundant landscape.

With Seven Rhinos, your Kaziranga journey becomes a refined immersion into Assam’s wild heart — intimate safaris, slow-travel moments, riverine landscapes, and the soulful culture of the Northeast woven into an experience that is both luxurious and deeply rooted in nature.

The Land & Its Wildlife

A Floodplain Wilderness

Kaziranga is a dynamic riverine ecosystem shaped by annual Brahmaputra floods. Its habitats include:
• Elephant grasslands
• Tropical moist deciduous forests
• Semi-evergreen forests
• Marshes, beels (lakes) and river channels
• Sandbars and alluvial plains

Animal Life

  • Flagship species: Greater One-Horned Rhino
  • Big mammals: Tiger, Asiatic elephant, wild water buffalo, Eastern swamp deer (barasingha)
  • Other mammals: hog deer, sambar, wild boar, otters, hoolock gibbon (nearby forest extensions)
  • Birdlife: Over 500 species — storks, pelicans, hornbills, eagles, reed specialist birds, migrants and waterbirds
  • Reptiles: Assam roofed turtle, water monitors, pythons, king cobras
  • Micro life: dragonflies, amphibians, wetland species thriving post-monsoon

Seasonal Rhythms

  • Winter: Crisp weather, clear sightings, migratory birds, shorter grass
  • Early Summer: High visibility as tall grass is manually cut; active wildlife movement
  • Monsoon: Park closes; dramatic flooding rejuvenates the landscape and sustains fertility

Conservation Notes

Kaziranga is a global conservation success — rhino protection, anti-poaching units, controlled burning of grasslands, and floodplain management have shaped one of India’s most resilient wildlife landscapes.
