Bagaria Tours organises travel within Kenya and may also arrange travel involving countries including Tanzania, Uganda and Zanzibar/Tanzania.
Some of our clients, suppliers and service providers may also be located outside Kenya.

Bagaria Tours maintains social media profiles on platforms including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X and LinkedIn.
If you communicate with us through a social media platform, the platform may independently collect and process information about you.
Your use of those services is also subject to the privacy policies and terms of the relevant social media platform.
We recommend that clients avoid sending passport copies, payment-card information or other highly sensitive information through public social media messages.
13. Photographs, Videos and Safari Content
During safaris, photographs or videos may occasionally be taken for operational, documentary or marketing purposes.
Where an individual is clearly identifiable and the image is intended for promotional or marketing use, Bagaria Tours will seek an appropriate legal basis and, where required, consent before publication.
Travellers may decline to participate in promotional photography.
Where consent is the legal basis for publication, a traveller may contact us regarding withdrawal of consent, subject to any lawful limitations or circumstances where material has already been legitimately published or distributed.
14. Reviews and Testimonials
We may invite clients to provide reviews or testimonials following their trip.
Submitting a review is voluntary.
Where you provide a testimonial directly to Bagaria Tours, we will not intentionally publish additional personal information beyond what is reasonably necessary without an appropriate basis.
