The boat safari is a unique Kabini national park safari experience, essential for any visit to Kabini National Park. For 90 minutes, boats drift past elephant herds, crocodiles, and amazing birdlife. In the dry season, the receding shoreline draws huge numbers of animals to the water, including fish eagles, painted storks, and ospreys.

What makes this place special

Between March and May, hundreds of elephants gather on the Kabini National Park reservoir shoreline—one of Asia's largest dry-season gatherings.
