Joseph was very knowledgeable, always courteous and always accommodated our needs.
We spent a week in Kenya. Joseph picked us up at the airport and got us to our accommodations. He stayed nearby so he was always available to meet our needs. He helped plan the entire week for us balancing interesting sight visits with leisure time. Our vacation experience was fantastic largely due to Joseph's help and expertise.

Joseph was very attentive to what we needed, gave suggestions to us and gave terrific service.
We had no difficulty getting in touch with him, he was always spot on.
He took us to historic sites, beaches, golf, gave us a good idea of what was happening in Kenya.
He was driving through some difficult areas without difficulty and managed detours without a problem.
He was flexible and able to change plans easily if needed.
Great choice for our group of 9.

Amazing experience!
Josef took us to Masai Mara and it was so beautiful! We woke up very early and immediately came across a lot of animals. Josef knew a lot about every animal that we came across and could answer any question with cool facts. He thought us the difference between the different kinds of gazelles, a male and female elephant, how we could identify certain traits. And not just the big five, but also the smaller animals and birds. We were very lucky to see a very big group of Lions on a hill and Josef parked the car so that we had the best view to see and take pictures. I also absolutely loved the parts of the tour where we would just be crossing through the scenery with the wind in our hair. He knew all the best places and where to go and when. At the end of the day when the sun was setting we even had a cold beer outside the car. He was really nice and I would highly recommend! Unforgettable experience!

Insightful and Professional
We had the privilege of having White Plains safari take us through Lake Nakuru National Park with a large group. Our driver, Joseph, had such great insight and instinct in the park knowing exactly when to stop and where to point to highlight wildlife. Joseph shared great insights into habits, fun facts and other interesting facts during our safari to make the experience that much more enjoyable and memorable. Joseph was also kind, thoughtful and joyful as he seemed to enjoy watching our enthusiasm. I highly recommend White Plains Safari!
Joseph was amazingly helpful and positive and made our trip to Kenya such a beautiful experience
Joseph was a great companion throughout our journey. He shared fascinating details about the safari, the animals, nature, and the Mara community, which made the experience even more enriching. He was always polite, respectful of our space during the ride, and knew exactly when to engage and when to give us privacy. He also took the time to introduce us to other interesting places around Kenya and enthusiastically promoted the beauty and culture of the country. We truly appreciated his professionalism, knowledge, and warm personality. Highly recommended!

Best guide ever!
We had an absolutely unforgettable safari experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible guide.
From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about wildlife and conservation. His ability to spot animals from astonishing distances was nothing short of remarkable, and thanks to his expertise, we were able to see an incredible variety of wildlife, including several sightings we would have completely missed on our own.
What truly set him apart was his dedication to ensuring we had the best possible experience. He patiently answered our endless questions, shared fascinating insights about animal behavior, ecosystems, and local culture, and always went the extra mile to position the vehicle perfectly for wildlife viewing and photography.
Beyond his expertise, he made us feel safe, comfortable, and welcome throughout the journey. His enthusiasm was contagious, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about creating memorable experiences for his guests.
A safari can be great because of the wildlife, but it becomes exceptional because of the guide. Thanks to him, this was not just a trip—it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will remember forever.
We cannot recommend him highly enough and would choose him again without hesitation. Thank you for making our Kenyan adventure so special!

More Than Just a Guide - A Brother and Family Friend
I cannot recommend Joseph and the team at White Plains Safari enough…By the end of the trip - he was truly a brother and family friend.
I know there are lots of options for a safari guide - Joseph and the team are “head and shoulders” above the rest - you would do well to choose White Plains for your next Kenyan adventure.
