Everything Australians Need to Know About Rhino Safaris in India

If you have ever dreamt of seeing one of the most magnificent animals in the world, the one-horned rhinoceros, India will create the experience of a lifetime! For Australian tourists who enjoy animals, photography and adventure, the Rhino safari in India should be at the top of your bucket list.  And whether you are flying from Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane, an Indian wildlife sanctuary offers a perfect combination of discovery, culture, and conservation. From the wetlands of Assam to the heart of the National Park of India, prepare to embrace your eco-friendly exploration!

Why India for Rhino Safaris?

India is home to over 70% of the world’s one-horned rhinoceroses, marking it as the global leader in rhino conservation.

And the best place to see them? Kaziranga National Park in Assam – a UNESCO World Heritage Site where rhinos freely roam through the expansive grasslands. Once at the brink of extinction, India’s rhino population is thriving again after years of conservation work – a legacy which we find to be appealing to visitors from all around the world.

For Australians who care about wildlife conservation and sustainable travel, visiting Kaziranga is not just a holiday but a journey into a legacy of hope and resilience.

An Unmatched Jungle Adventure

Unlike bigger cat tours that often demand swift action, Rhino Safaris in India are immersive and conscious travel experiences. Safari participants venture through idyllic scenery in guided Jeep Safaris that observe rhinos, elephants, and water buffalo calmly grazing under the golden light – a photographer’s dream!

With RAP Safari’s fully escorted, all-inclusive itineraries, Australian travellers enjoy a variety of aspects—including exclusive opportunities for photography, guided walks led by expert naturalists, and unique, authentic land stays that benefit impacted local communities. In addition, trip experiences can be more intimate and insightful with small groups, gaining knowledge from excellent naturalists and conservation guides who fully understand the wildlife and its environment.

All trips are eco-friendly jungle tours, designed to minimise your carbon footprint while maximising your connection with nature. 

Easy Access from Australia

Travelling from Australia to India for a wildlife safari adventure is much easier than you may think. There are ample options for flights, which connect from Australian origins – Sydney, Melbourne, Perth – to major Indian airports – in cities like Delhi or Guwahati – with ready access to our major, pristine National Parks. RAP Safaris handles every detail regarding your trip – airport transfers, accommodations, park permits, etc. – and strives to ensure that your experience of a safari adventure from Australia is smooth, safe, and educational.

The Importance of Conservation and Community

One of the key differentiators for RAP Safaris is its emphasis on responsible travel and community-based conservation.

Best Time To Visit

The best time to travel for Rhino Safaris in India is between November and April, when you experience pleasant weather and the best wildlife sightings.
