Kaziranga is generally very safe for visitors, though its unique environment presents specific safety considerations regarding wildlife.
* **Emergency Numbers**: Police / General Emergency (112), Ambulance (108), Fire (101). * **Human-Wildlife Conflict**: The highway (NH-715, formerly NH-37) runs parallel to the park. Wild animals frequently cross, especially during floods. Night driving is restricted during flood season, and speed limits (40 km/h) are strictly enforced via radar cameras. * **Crime**: Crime rates against tourists are extremely low. The area is heavily patrolled by the Assam Police and the Forest Protection Force. * **Health Safety**: Malaria and Japanese Encephalitis can be risks in the monsoon season; mosquito repellent and appropriate vaccinations are recommended. * **Safety Tips**: Never step out of your vehicle during a safari. Adhere strictly to the guides' instructions. Avoid walking near forest edges or tea gardens after dark due to roaming elephants and leopards.
