Kaziranga Wildlife Photography Camp (Summer 2024)

CAMP OVERVIEW

Home to two-thirds of the world’s great one-horned rhinoceroses, The Kaziranga National Park is a dream destination for any avid wildlife enthusiast and photographer. Spread over 430km², this lush green flood plain is fed by the mighty Brahmaputra, and comprises of tall, dense grasslands interspersed with canebrakes, open woodlands, interconnecting streams and numerous lakes or ‘beels‘. Living amongst these amazing forests are 1641 adult one-horned rhinos, and boasts of one of the worlds highest density of tigers. The park is also home to large breeding populations of elephants, wild water buffalo, swamp deer, and the only apes found in India, the Western Hoolock Gibbon, apart from being a hotspot for 470 species of birds.

What’s better, The Outback Experience’s Phillip & Samantha Ross, will guide you into the forests, take you through the fundamentals of wildlife photography and equip you with a good understanding of wildlife behaviour that will help you take stunning photographs. Phillip has been travelling to Kaziranga since 2008 and knows these forests like the back of his hand and will lead you to places where tiger sightings are known to happen.

Come join us for this one-of-a-kind wildlife photography camp!

TOUR ITINERARY

 DATES: 6th to 10th April, 2024 (CAMP FULL – ADD TO WAITLIST)

DAY 1:

Participants are requested to arrive at Bangalore Airport (flight costs not included in the camp price), and will be welcomed and greeted by tour instructors Phillip & Samantha Ross. On arrival at Guwahati, we soon find ourselves aboard a pre-arranged vehicle driving towards Kaziranga. We stop for lunch along the way, and upon check-in, we have an introductory session about Kaziranga and what’s in store for us for the next few days.

We end the night with a delicious dinner.

DAY2:

We awake to the sweet calls of the birds found within the camp and after a hot cup of coffee or tea, we prepare to depart for our first morning safari in Kaziranga! We enter the forest early in the morning and reach the gates of one of the four zones of this beautiful park, our aim will be to get our first glimpse of the great one-horned rhino. After a fascinating drive, we return to the resort for breakfast. Our skippers will now help all participants with a one-on-one image review session, so that the afternoon’s safari will be more productive.

We return to the forest in the afternoon, hoping to make images of more of the magnificent wildlife found here.

On our return at dusk, we will have another learning session on photography, and end the night with dinner.

DAYs 3 & 4:

For the next 2 full days, we spend a great amount of time understanding the park and learn how to maximise our chances with some amazing opportunities, so that we can go take home the most incredible portfolio of this fascinating place.

Our skippers will be with your child on each safari and talk them through changing the appropriate settings, giving them advice about composition and helping them with some interesting perspectives apart from helping track the wildlife of the park.

On one of the days, we will also go in search of the rare and elusive Western hoolock gibbon, the only ape specie of India.

We end the night with a celebratory dinner.

DAY 5:

After an early breakfast, we gather for a final rendezvous before checking out and driving back to Guwahati Airport, where we are sure your child won’t be able to wait to tell you, your friends and family some fascinating tales once they get back to their lovely homes.
