Elephant safari is a favorite activity among all the tourists who visit Kaziranga. It is also a good way to get into the forest which takes one to the actual habitat where animals live, without disturbing them. But few travelers know how to get the elephant safari. While it is easy to have a seat booked through a hotel or resort, people are often left helpless as to which range should they choose for the ride. The 3 ranges seem to be quite different. All know the central, and some think it is the only one. A few know the Bagori range and most often they are given this range. But the fact is that there is another very good range where also elephant safari can be got. It is called the Burapahar range. One can get the seat booked there.
Burapahar elephant safari is unique for the fact that the ride here has a duration of 1 full hour. There are 3 elephants which take the tourists through an undulating terrain with marshy areas, streams and grassy level ground. For the most part the elephant carries the riders through thickly forested areas. There are different species of deer, rhinos, buffaloes, wild hen and birds which can be seen from the elephant. The animals often hide behind the elephant grass. But the elephant takes the riders close to the animals. Ultimately everyone appreciates this ride. It is a heart quenching elephant ride one has ever had. People often complain of the short duration of the elephant safari. But this is not the case here. I personally went in such a trip. What I found was extraordinary. It was like a beautiful dream, a great movie which I watched, only that it was in real life. You shall have the same experience, I can assure.
