\nthe one horned Indian rhinoceros. Despite poaching you stand a good chance
\nof seeing one on elephant safari. <\/p>\n The park also significant populations of tigers,
\ncrocodiles and Gangetic dolphins (rare, blind, fresh water dolphins).<\/p>\n
Safari<\/h3>\n
If you are intent on seeing the animals at the park, give
\nyourself time for several safaris, as there is no guarantee you will see all of
\nthe wildlife. Two whole days is really the minimum for a complete
\nexperience inside the park. Beware that 3 and 4 day safaris often have a
\nfull day of traveling included at either end of the trip, so check what you are
\n getting.<\/p>\n
The Maoists problems in Nepal have led to huge drops in
\nvisitors numbers to the park. This has helped the wildlife, but poaching

There is a massive range of activities on offer here,
\nprobably more than at the big expensive lodges in the park.<\/p>\n
Elephant Breeding Centre<\/h3>\n
About 3km west of Sauraha on the far side of the small
