Viral Video Shows Mother-Daughter Duo Falling From Jeep Near One-Horned Rhinos, Escaping Death By A Narrow Margin

A thrilling jeep safari through Assam’s Kaziranga National Park took an unexpected turn for a mother-daughter duo, turning what should have been a fun adventure into a terrifying ordeal. The viral video, which has caught the attention of both wildlife enthusiasts and netizens, showcases the dangerous encounter between the tourists and the park’s famous one-horned rhinos.

In the footage, the two women are seen falling out of their jeep after several safari vehicles, eager to escape a rhino’s presence, hurriedly sped away. The first two jeeps made sharp turns, sending the young girl and her mother tumbling to the ground, crying for help. Meanwhile, another rhino, clearly agitated, charged toward the third jeep, narrowly missing the women. The vehicle quickly reversed, avoiding a potentially dangerous situation.

The women eventually managed to scramble back into their jeep, their escape nothing short of miraculous.

Kaziranga National Park, renowned for its one-horned rhinos, has seen an impressive surge in tourism, recording over 164,000 visitors in the 2024 season—its highest tourist inflow in two decades.
