Safari guides in India - Kaziranga featuring Jomoni Ali

This is my second feature in the Wildlife guides series. 

Jomoni ali in his favourite place. [l-r : me, Jomoni ali]


Jomoni Ali is an unassuming man who is very well informed and punctual to a fault. Always hope you are never late because he will lie in wait half an hour earlier than the appointed time. He is the younger sibling of Babloo Ali , another Safari guide featured on this blog. 

Jomoni was a very brotherly figure who shared the instances of wildlife and human conflict occurring around the park and the recent measures being taken to prevent such mishaps. He was optimistic about the elevated corridor being able to prevent animal deaths due to an arterial highway of the northeast passing right in the heart of the national park. 

Jomoni's quick eye was very helpful in helping me catpture the moments in Kaziranga that I will cherish lifelong.


1. The Silent Majesty of an Afternoon in Kaziranga




2. A Pied Kingfisher emerges empty handed from a dive


3. Hooded Oriole posing 


4. Feet Of the Rhino go stomp stomp stomp- a jungle mynah nursery rhyme


5. A wild hog unsure of my intentions


6. a morning swim for an otter. a smooth coated at that


7. Greens are best for Health - a dominant male rhino munching on hyacinth


8. The Greater coucal - a rare treat given its finicky and skittish nature.

Contact Jomoni on the below to plan the best sightings in Kaziranga.
