Wildlife Safari, Blackbuck National Park

In the heart of Gujarat lies the Blackbuck National Park, a modest 34 sq km haven established in July 1976 and expanded in 1980. Despite its size, this sanctuary packs a punch for wildlife enthusiasts. The grasslands stretch between seasonal rivers, creating a canvas for a unique safari experience.

Approximately 1800 blackbucks gracefully share their domain with the blue bull, India’s largest antelope. The park is a birder's dream too, hosting over 120 bird species, including Siberian harriers.

As you traverse the pale gold grasslands, clusters of blackbucks dot the landscape. Males flaunt their horns in gendered groups, while females and fawns form their own serene gatherings. Elusive wolves sometimes reveal themselves during the early morning hours.

To make the most of this wildlife encounter, travelling with a guide is key. Beyond providing essential insights into the animals' lives, the guide shares captivating anecdotes about village life, adding cultural richness to your safari adventure. Though one of the smallest national parks, it unfolds as a biodiversity treasure trove, offering a safari experience that transcends its modest size.
