Kabini Backwaters Forest Safari
Kabini Backwaters Forest Safari is a popular experience conducted by the Karnataka Forest Department in Kabini river. The Karnataka Forest department operates two types of safaris in Kabini- one is the jeep safari and the other is boat safari in Kabini River.
The boat safari lasts for close to 90 minutes and guests may see elephants mud bathing on the shores, several birds such as cormorants, cranes, darters along the river banks, crocodiles as well as snakes.
Kabini Boat Safari Timings
Boat Safari in Kabini river is done twice a day- 3.30 PM to 6.15 PM and 6.30 AM to 9.15 AM
Season:
The River Kabini Lodge is a great place to visit any time of the year. But during the sweltering months of March, April and May, the pools and springs in the forest dry up, bringing the animals to the banks of the River Kabini.
Here you get to see the largest congregation of Asiatic Elephants in the wild. The monsoons (July, August and September) has the trees lush and thick, but promise fewer animal sightings. The other months promise a fair chance of animal and bird sightings.
Note:
Boat safari may be suspended during summer months when water level is too low or during rainy season when river may be overflowing.
Cost & Packages
Cost of a boat safari is included in the room rental paid by guests of Kabini River Lodge operated by Jungle Lodge & Resorts. For external guests a charge is payable, which may vary based on nationality (Indians/foreigners) and weekday/weekend
. When you book a stay in any resorts in the Kabini area, your host will arrange for a boat safari for you. Slots will be limited on each safari hence advance booking is strongly recommended.
