If any animal rules Kabini, it is the elephant. The forest
reserve has the single largest congregation of Asiatic elephants (estimated at
around 6,000). Besides elephants, you are likely to spot langurs, chital,
sambar, bison, sloth bear, pythons, crocodile; and if you are lucky tiger and
leopard. The reserve is also home to around 250 species of bird life. The best
wildlife sightings are between November and June. safari on
elephant back is another experience altogether. You feel as if you're sailing on
a slightly turbulent sea and yet you know you are in a forest. Since the animals
are used to having elephants around, you don't disturb them either. If you can
brave the ferocious beauty, you could even take a walk through the forest.
Breathe in the refreshing air, whistle with the wind and carry home timeless
memories. Elephant playing catch. Leopards on the prowl. Antelopes jumping
across the brushes. Or may be even a tigress with her cubs. These are indeed
pictures that you'll treasure for a lifetime. And no one can offer better than
Kabini. A motorboat cruise would give you a chance to take a look at the wild
life, aquatic birds and even a few crocodiles. Sailboats and paddleboats are
also available. Another must do is nature walk for that feel of the forest which
would long linger in your memory.
