The Jungle Safari

The main event. You have two ways to tackle the tall grass.
Elephant Safari: The undisputed best way to see the park. Elephants can wade through the tall grass and streams where jeeps can't go. You can get thrillingly close to the rhinos, close enough for the details to snap into focus: the armour plates, the mud, the prehistoric heft.
Hours: Early morning only (5:30am / 6:30am / 7:30am shifts).
Booking: Policies can change by season. When online slots are released, bookings are made through the state portal; at other times, limited passes are issued at the gate/counter with ID proof. Either way, arrive early as this is the park’s most coveted seat.
Jeep Safari: Covers more ground and takes you to watchtowers like Harindanga and Jaldapara. Good for spotting gaurs (Indian bison), leopards, and elephants.
Hours: Jeep safaris run in multiple shifts, typically morning and afternoon, and the exact schedule shifts with daylight and season. Treat published times as a moving target. Confirm at booking or at the gate the day before.
Note: Safari operations are typically shut one day a week (Thursday is commonly the off-day) so don’t build your entire itinerary around a single window.
