About The Tour

Join DCP Expeditions for an unforgettable 3 nights 4 days Wildlife Photography Masterclass to the UNESCO World Heritage Site — Kaziranga National Park, Assam. Renowned globally for its thriving population of the Great Indian One-Horned Rhinoceros, Kaziranga also offers thrilling photographic opportunities with Asian Elephants, Swamp Deer, Wild Water Buffaloes, and Royal Bengal Tigers, all set against the picturesque floodplains of the Brahmaputra.

This masterclass is designed to sharpen your skills in photographing large mammals, birdlife, and wetland habitats under expert mentorship, with 4-photographer-only jeep safaris for optimal comfort and angles.

Adding a unique twist to the expedition, we’ll also make a day trip to the nearby Hoollongapar Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary — India’s only habitat for the Western Hoolock Gibbon, along with Stump-tailed Macaques, Pig-tailed Macaques, and Capped Langurs — a rare treat for primate and rainforest photographers.
