What an amazing experience in every way! I am thinking of planning a second visit to The Bison before I depart India. A comfortable, high quality experience that gives you the excitement of the jungle amongst a peaceful and relaxing resort. The safaris are great; I took two jeep safaris. When you go on a safari you have to hope... More

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay of 2 nights at the Bison. The resort offered just the right blend of hospitality and personal space, a refreshing change from the 'in your face' places which are crawling with support staff. The luxury tent felt great - comfortable, plenty of light, ventilation, and space to lounge in. Decadence has never been better. Food... More

If you want to have a pathetic holiday experience, Bison is THE place to go. Few snippets: 1. Road and Direction Boards :12 kms of terrible road before reaching the resort. Direction-Boards: Not placed right and would be difficult to find, if enroute towards evening/night. 2. Tents: Aesthetically good in the morning (only positive aspect, in the entire place). In...

You point something out to him that you don't like & he says "I hope you have a better thing the next time" & ......thats it..... nothing else...he does... More

This is an excellent property if you want to have something different. Tents are good and location is excellent. Location is the biggest advantage of this propert. Food quality and variety is okay. It is just basic. The staff is very responsive and attentive. Pasha the local manager is great guy ensuring nobody leaves unhappy. However Owner Shaaz is quite... More
