Take the elephant safari, not the jeep safari
Kaziranga National Park的点评
点评：We took two jeep safaris in the morning (Western Zone) and afternoon (Central Zone), the vehicles are allowed which enter the park between 7.30-9.30 am and 1.30-3.30 pm. The rides are dusty and noisy and bumpy and should a rhino be sighted at any close distance (most of them were hundreds of meters away across marshes) you end up in a traffic jam of jeeps. It's not a pleasant experience through its the only way you can get to see the various vegetation types of the park, grassland, swamp, forest etc. because the jeeps cover more ground. Of the two zones noted above the Central Zone is more forested in parts, open in others, and is probably the more scenic zone, but some of the forested roads were seriously in bad shape. My Fitbit added 20K steps across the two rides!
The elephant safaris are available for the Western Zone (Indian nationals) and Central Zone (foreigners and not mentioned in the literature - Indian - supposedly - VIPs) in what is an interesting discrimination though apparently they do it to manage the high demand for the Central Zone. These get booked through your hotel or tour operator in general, it's almost impossible to book them online. The difference I saw was that in the Western Zone safaris you sit 2 to a wood bench, facing sideways, so 4 to a (larger) elephant. In the Central Zone you straddle the elephant in combinations of 3+1 mahout (larger animals) or 2+1 mahout (smaller animals) and look forward. This means that in the Western Zone safaris you're essentially looking sideways and you'd need to twist your neck and crane your head to look on the other side. In the Central Zone safari - which we were lucky to experience - viewing from side to front to side is a much more natural experience.
All that said, the elephant safari is an incredible experience in the silent and moist dawn, having the elephant grass come up to your legs (or waist if you're on a smaller animal) and viewing rhinos and deer up close is a surreal experience. While the rides don't cover much ground and essentially stay in the grasslands not too far from the park entrances - if you want an experience to remember for the rest of your life, this is the safari to take.

翻译：我们参加了两次吉普车游，分别是上午（西部区域）和下午（中部区域），车辆可以在上午 7:30-9:30 和下午 1:30-3:30 之间进入公园。游乐设施尘土飞扬、嘈杂且颠簸，如果在近距离看到犀牛（它们大多数在沼泽地的数百米外），您就会陷入吉普车的拥堵中。这不是一次愉快的体验，因为这是您可以看到公园各种植被类型的唯一方式，草原、沼泽、森林等，因为吉普车覆盖了更多的地面。在上述两个区域中，中部区域部分森林较多，其他部分空旷，可能是风景更优美的区域，但一些森林道路状况非常糟糕。我的 Fitbit 在两次游乐设施中增加了 20K 步数！
大象狩猎之旅面向西部地区（印度国民）和中部地区（外国人，文献中未提及 - 印度人 - 据说是 VIP），这是一种有趣的区别对待，尽管他们这样做显然是为了应对中部地区的高需求。这些通常通过您的酒店或旅行社预订，几乎不可能在线预订。我看到的不同之处在于，在西部地区的狩猎之旅中，您 2 人坐在一个木凳上，面朝侧面，所以 4 人面对一头（较大的）大象。在中部地区，您可以跨坐在大象身上，以 3+1 个驯象人（较大的动物）或 2+1 个驯象人（较小的动物）的组合向前看。这意味着在西部地区的狩猎之旅中，您基本上是向侧面看，您需要扭动脖子并伸长头才能看向另一侧。在中部地区的狩猎之旅中 - 我们有幸体验了 - 从一侧到前方再到另一侧的观看是一种更自然的体验。
尽管如此，在寂静潮湿的黎明，大象之旅是一次令人难以置信的体验，大象草长到你的腿上（如果你骑的是一头较小的动物，那么长到腰部），近距离观看犀牛和鹿是一种超现实的体验。虽然骑乘不会覆盖太多地方，而且基本上停留在距离公园入口不远的草原上 - 但如果你想要一次终生难忘的体验，这次旅行是你的不二之选。
