Exceptional services by Bison Safaris
I just finished my safari yesterday on 3rd April after landing in Kenya with my family for 10 days safari .One outstanding gesture i got from Bison safaris team is that upon arrival my Husbands luggage was left behind in South Africa by the airline, we were asked to fill a claim form and Bison safaris followed same up and in 1 days time the luggage was brought to us in Masai Mara where we were at that time. We really appreciated the much help Maggie gave us in this time and to get the luggage to us and safely .
More to that the safari was very exciting and finishing same at the beach gave us the relaxation we all needed. my Children were really happy playing with the sand and we loved Baobab Resort really alot .
We will always refer and we would recommend anyone taking safari to Kenya to use Biosn safaris since if anything happens for sure they will have your back and will not leave you alone in the mess.
Thanks alot to Maggie and whole of Bison Safaris team .

Amazing experience
We spend 4 days with Kitawa Tours. They picked up us from the bus stop to our Airbnb. The place was not safe so Valerien helpt us to find another one. The day after, the safari started. 3 national Parks in 3 days. We stayed in Panoram Camp, a very wild and cheap place. We loved it ! The experience was amazing, we saw many animals. Thanks a lot for everything. If you are looking for a VERY nice compagny for safari and human sharing, for sure contact them.

Awesome service providers
I was a little hesitant to book my safari using a tour operator at first, but booking with Advantage Travel turned out to be one of my best decisions this year!! Angie ensured our safari was perfect from the moment we were picked at Nairobi. Furthermore, they delivered on everything they had promised to deliver......like literally everything!!!! It was an awesome hassle free safari thanks to Advantage Travel

Best Safari Experience in Kenya!
My safari experience with Advantage Travel was by far the best compared to other safaris I have taken previously. The bookings and communications with the tour operator were very smooth and quite informative. Angie was especially helpful and she has excellent customer service. The driver was also very professional and knowledgeable, he made us experience the Mara like we never had before. I would definitely recommend Advantage Travel to any of my friends.

Review about Nxai Pan National Park by Ian
Arriving at the Nxai Pan gate, we were greeted by another track masquerading as a river and informed that we could only be admitted at our own risk. This was a no-brainer as our camp was already set up in there and there was no alternative. As it was getting fairly late, we did a short game drive and repaired to camp for dinner and bed.
Next morning all was well and we set off to see what Nxai Pan had to offer. It was to turn out to be a day mainly consisting of bird sightings, apart from hundreds of Zebras, which was the reason we were there anyway. They were even more plentiful than the Oryx had been in Central Kalahari and our guide estimated we saw between three and five thousand in Nxai Pan. However, the vast amount of rain and the affect it had on the vegetation meant the Zebras didn’t need to migrate so far as in most years. Had it been a normal year he estimated we would have seen three to four times that number.
My first impression of Nxai Pan was how big and open the area is, although only a fraction of the area covered by Central Kalahari. It is classic Cheetah territory and that was what I was hoping to see. I didn’t have to wait long on our second day and we found a female with two young cubs, probably about nine months old. We spent best part of an hour with them as they slowly moved around their range and the cubs played happily with each other, before they moved into cover and we left them.
Next up was another herd (dazzle) of Zebras, and another brief Cheetah sighting, but much of the day was spent looking for Lions. After lunch, we were successful, even witnessing a (distant) mating session. There was a torrential thunderstorm later on in the afternoon, but once this moved through we had another Cheetah sighting, which turned out to be the brother of the female we had seen in the morning.
That brought us to the end of our two full days in Nxai Pan and just left us with a game drive to the gate next morning. We had been trying, unsuccessfully, to photograph a European Bee-eater since we arrived, but every time our guide killed the engine, the bird would fly. Finally we were successful as we found one in an Acacia bush and it didn’t move. Also added a Bradfield’s Hornbill to our list as it posed beautifully beside the track.
My overall impression of Nxai Pan is somewhat mixed. Certainly we saw exactly what we went there for, so we have no complaints on that score. But there are vast areas of the reserve that are inaccessible due to the no off-roading policy. I understand the reasons for this policy and agree with it, but it only works if there are adequate roads to use and that is where Nxai Pan suffers.
